Advancing Clinical and Patient Pathways for Better NCD Care in Kosovo
In Kosovo, a diabetic patient’s journey in the health system begins with the family doctor. Under the family medicine model, which Kosovo has officially adopted, primary care level doctors are responsible for coordinating a patient’s overall condition and treatment and referring them to specialist care when necessary. The family medicine model is intended to guide the patients and for healthcare providers to have a comprehensive view of patients’ medical history and ongoing needs.
