Zulbeari: Public Health Institute launches epidemiological investigation into cases with gastrointestinal symptoms in Gostivar

Dr. Shaqir Zulbeari, director of the Public Health Institute, visited Gostivar today together with Health Minister Dr. Sasho Klekovski and the director of Gostivar General Hospital. The visit was carried out to assess firsthand the condition of patients who have presented with gastrointestinal complaints.

According to Zulbeari, teams from the Public Health Institute immediately went into the field and began an epidemiological investigation, with the aim of identifying the cause of the situation as quickly as possible.

“The Public Health Centre is directly involved in the process of identifying the cause. Our teams have begun epidemiological surveys and collecting samples, which are crucial for determining the source of the problem,” he said.

He appealed to citizens seeking help at healthcare institutions for gastrointestinal symptoms to cooperate with epidemiological teams and complete the relevant questionnaires.

“In addition to receiving medical assistance, it is of great importance for patients to provide the necessary information through the epidemiological survey. Every piece of information is valuable and contributes to identifying the cause more quickly,” Dr. Zulbeari said.

Zulbeari stressed that the Public Health Institute will continue monitoring the situation in full coordination with the Ministry of Health, Gostivar Hospital and other responsible institutions.

“We will remain in the field and at the service of citizens 24 hours a day, until the situation is fully clarified and the cause is identified,” Zulbeari said.
