Hoti: We are on the right track, but we need to tighten the measures more
“I believe that we are on the right path, I believe that the facility should start as soon as possible to get ready for autumn. I hope that the regular vaccination will start soon so that we have a protection for the chronically ill, children, and the most vulnerable groups … Maybe we’ll have to tighten the measures so we can be prepared for the fall. I know that the minister has a lot of pressure from different groups of the economy and society. From sports federations, education, businesses and others, but for me it is extremely important to balance all issues. We must put the life of the citizen in the first place”, said Hoti.
The Minister of Health, Armend Zemaj demanded greater dynamism and responsibility from doctors, while he said that there will be additional reorganization to increase health services.
“I have a commitment; we are doing a dynamic job. But this dynamism must be conveyed by all. We will increase this dynamism with accountability, performance and joint work in the interest of public health “, said Zemaj,
