Involvement in the management of Cardiovascular Diseases in Kosovo

Kosovo has been facing many economic and political challenges during the post-conflict situation. Among these challenges is the establishment of a functioning primary health care system to address the most basic needs of its population.  Chronic diseases, e.g., cardiovascular illnesses present additional unmet challenges.

Achievements of this Programme funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)included:

  • A Diagnostic Ultrasound machine was shipped and installed in Pristina, and the clinics’ cardiologists, nurses and technicians trained
  • Experts from the Polish Zabrze Clinic conducted a needs assessment in Kosovo

  • 7 Kosovar doctors trained for 3-6 months in Zabrze, Poland
  • Polish experts conduct a follow-up/monitoring visit to Kosovo after the trainings
