Nine Health Professionals Complete Accredited EMNG Training
Recently, nine health professionals successfully completed a 20-day accredited training in Electromyoneurography (EMNG), marking an important step in strengthening capacities for modern diagnostics to prevent neuromyopathy complications in diabetic patients in Kosovo.
The training that was held at the General Hospitals (GH) of Peja and Gjakova was accredited by the Kosovo Medical Chamber. Participants included two neurologists from GH Peja, two from GH Gjakova, three from the University Clinical Center of Kosovo (QKUK), as well as two nurses, one from Gjakova and one from QKUK.
The course was delivered by Dr. Dren Boshnjaku and Prof. Dr. Vera Kukaj, two well-respected experts in the field. Wider use of EMNG will now support earlier identification of complications caused by non-communicable diseases.
Trainer Dr. Dren Boshnjaku thanked the IHS Project for its support, noting that the collaboration has enabled the development of new services in the General Hospitals of Peja and Gjakova, while also reinforcing capacities within the Neurology Clinic at QKUK. These advances, he added, are essential for delivering high-quality care to patients.
The professionals who successfully completed the training are: Dr. Valon Shala, Dr. Shefqet Shala, Dr. Ilire Zajmi Pozhari, Dr. Granit Xhiha, Dr. Fatlum Azizi, Dr. Adnan Biqku, Dr. Gentian Lila, as well as nurses Butrint Stavileci and Lumnije Maloku.
The training, supported by the IHS Project, contributes to sustaining continuous professional development opportunities for workforce within the health sector in Kosovo.
