Five euros is the amount that citizens must pay for a visit to Family Medicine Centers outside their area of ​​residence. They say that this amount is high and are demanding that it be changed. The Association for Patients' Rights in Kosovo also considers it a problematic tax. Meanwhile, the QKMF in Pristina says that it has sent letters for clarifications and corrections of the administrative instruction to the Ministry of Health. "With the exception of emergency cases, citizens who seek services in Primary Health Care institutions [PHC] outside the area of ​​residence designated by the relevant institutions...", states the administrative instruction on Co-payments for health services of the Ministry of Health. Bedri Jahja, a resident of Pristina, says that this payment is unfair, KosovaPress reports. Another citizen, Gani Canolli, says that the payment in this case should be at most 3 euros. Senad Ejupi also expresses the same opinion. Regarding this point of the administrative instruction, the president of the Association for Patients' Rights in Kosovo, Besim Kodra, says that this tax should only be for citizens who seek services outside their municipality. Meanwhile, the deputy director of the Main Center for Family Medicine in Pristina, Bujar Gashi, emphasizes that they have received complaints and requests for clarification from citizens regarding the points of the administrative instruction. The change in the value of this payment, says Gashi, has caused concern among patients. But, according to him, there is no penalizing measure, but an awareness-raising one, reports KosovaPress. Administrative Instruction No. 03/2024 "Co-payments for health services" entered into force in 2024. Meanwhile, the payment for services within the residential area is 1 euro.
