The Centre needs from 10 to 15 50-liter bottles of oxygen daily. The current reserves are running out and are kept for emergency cases only.
The director of the Health Centre in Gracanica, Rada Trajkovic, appealed to Kosovo authorities to permanently resolve the problem of supply of medicines and medical equipment to Serb communities in Kosmet.
Administration must not cause the suffering of people depending on health institutions in Serb enclaves, she said commenting on a decision of the southern Mitrovica customs to retain 10 bottles with oxygen intended for the clinical and hospital centre in Gracanica, central Kosmet, due to an alleged absence of certain permits.
The bottles have been kept at the customs terminal since Saturday, which is threatening the lives of many patients.
The Centre needs from 10 to 15 50-liter bottles of oxygen daily. The current reserves are running out and are kept for emergency cases only.
Since the proclamation of independence of Kosovo, on February 17, the customs in southern Mitrovica has retained medicines and equipment for Serb communities at several intervals.
Competent Serbian authorities have addressed the WHO and received its support. The director of the Clinical and Hospital Centre in Gracanica, Stojan Sekulic, also expressed concern as there is no suggestion that bottles with oxygen will be soon delivered to that institutions.
He described the confiscation of oxygen as political pressure on Serbs to move out or recognize independent Kosmet.
He expressed hope that the fact that Serbian Health Ministry officials will be speaking about the confiscation of medicines for health centre in Serb enclaves in Kosmet at the session of the WHO in Georgia will contribute to a solution to this issue.
Ping!
Well, they're being lazy.
That is, history tells us that it is much easier to use water pressure from fire hydrant hoses to push people back - or permanently out of the way. /s
Get an oxygen maker.
From where? You think the Muslims will allow the Serbs to import one? If so, you don't understand the current pogrom against the remaining Serbs, Jews, and Roma in Kosovo!
This is sick...where is the outcry from the press?
If this were to occur against muslims, it would be large type headlines of “ethnic cleansing”.
But, seeing as the Serbs are Christians the MSM is silent and it’s no big deal.
Kosovo Serb babies denied oxygen
Kosovo Serb babies in the hospital in Gracanica are running out of oxygen and are in danger of dying after separatists seized the shipment and now demand that Serbs recognize their renegade entity.
Shame on Belgrade for not caring for their people. They insist this is their land don’t they? They sure don’t act like it though.
You are possibly the only reason why abortion should be legal.
What do you want the Serbs to do, fire on American troops? YOU TRAITOR!!!!!!
