UNFPA has donated delivery beds and essential obstetric care equipment to the Maternity Ward University Clinical Center of Kosovo. This equipment will improve the basic conditions and environment of women to deliver their babies in the biggest maternity ward in Kosovo. The donation is made possible through the joint project “Partnership to improve Women and Children’s Health in Kosovo“ implemented by UNFPA, UNICEF and WHO in partnership with the Ministry of Health funded by Luxembourg Government.
“It is our hope that the delivery beds and basic equipment donated today will provide to women of Kosovo minimum conditions that they deserve to have during the delivery of their babies and enable the caregivers to provide to them better quality of care,” said UNFPA Assistant Representative Visare Mujko Nimani.
She added that UNFPA looks forward to continue to work in partnership with Kosovo institutions in years to come to promote and ensure that every woman, man and child have the right to have equal opportunities in life.
During the handover ceremony, speeches were also given by the Director of Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic Dr. Myrvete Pacarada, Director of Clinical Hospital Health Services Dr. Curr Gjocaj who cordially thanked UNFPA and the Luxembourg Ambassador and his government for continues support to the health system in Kosovo.
The Ambassador of Luxembourg Mr. Pierre Weber expressed his satisfaction of the cooperation among UN agencies and health professionals and his happiness for the improvement of health conditions and services for mothers and children in Kosovo.
