GYNECOLOGISTS WON'T APPLY FOR VACANCIES

15. May 2015.

Presevo – Although the Ministry of Health approved the hiring of two gynecologists and ten nurses for the needs of the outpatient maternity ward at the health center in Presevo, for the equipping of which the Coordination Body of the Government of the Republic of Serbia for the Municipalities of Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja and the international donors had earmarked over 30 million dinars, it is still uncertain when the said medical facility will start operating.

“The problem is that we had to repeat the open competition for hiring two gynecologists, because no candidates applied for the job vacancies during the first open competition, said Skender Destani, MD, the Deputy Mayor of Presevo.

In his opinion, the requirements of the competition don’t envisage the hiring of gynecologists of the Albanian ethnicity exclusively, but the competition is open to gynecologists of all ethnic backgrounds.  Mr. Destani says that not only Albanian women will be giving birth at the outpatient maternity ward, but Serbian and Roma women from the wider area of the municipality of Presevo  will do so, too, “so that it’s even stranger that no doctors are interested in the job.”

“I still expect that that we’ll hire the two doctors by the end of the month and that the medical facility will start operating, since all the standards, which are in accordance with the Ministry of Health’s norms, exist. In that way, one of the problems would be solved and the Gynecological Ward of the General Hospital in Vranje, which is around forty kilometers away from Presevo, would be relieved,” Mr. Destani said.
