A review of the development process of health services in Kosovo in the past
Session
Medicine and Nursing
Description
Today, societies are experiencing a process of development and change in a continuous search for health services that are growing rapidly due to various diseases, including pandemics such as Covid 19. This research is based on society's past experiences and interactions with the environment, thus on its historical process. As mankind has encountered a series of diseases and epidemics in the past and present, the approach to health has changed and evolved greatly as a result of the consumption of resources, experience, reform movements, and so on. This change and evolution involve scientific progress in relation to illnesses, procedures, treatments, and management. This paper goes back in time to provide information about health services in Kosovo at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Although epidemic management has changed from country to country in the 21st century, through this study we will see that such practices have been applied in the past. This study, which relies on papers from the Ottoman Archive and related literature, also intends to give information on the extent of health services, the administration of epidemics such as cholera and smallpox, and the health infrastructure in Kosovo during this time period.

A review of the development process of health services in Kosovo in the past
UBT Kampus, Lipjan
Today, societies are experiencing a process of development and change in a continuous search for health services that are growing rapidly due to various diseases, including pandemics such as Covid 19. This research is based on society's past experiences and interactions with the environment, thus on its historical process. As mankind has encountered a series of diseases and epidemics in the past and present, the approach to health has changed and evolved greatly as a result of the consumption of resources, experience, reform movements, and so on. This change and evolution involve scientific progress in relation to illnesses, procedures, treatments, and management. This paper goes back in time to provide information about health services in Kosovo at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Although epidemic management has changed from country to country in the 21st century, through this study we will see that such practices have been applied in the past. This study, which relies on papers from the Ottoman Archive and related literature, also intends to give information on the extent of health services, the administration of epidemics such as cholera and smallpox, and the health infrastructure in Kosovo during this time period.
