Conducting mass surveys in Gostivar is currently encountering significant obstacles, requiring substantial cooperation from the local population to facilitate communication with medical personnel. Dr. Dragan Kacinski, Head of the Epidemiology Department at the Institute for Public Health (IPH), has issued an appeal urging the community to work diligently alongside the assigned health workers.
According to statements from the IPH, approximately 60 surveys have been successfully completed to date. However, to achieve a precise localization of the outbreak, comprehensive data from affected residents remains essential. Beyond the survey process, the IPH emphasizes that residents must also actively participate in obtaining laboratory test samples.
This collection of samples is crucial for laboratory analyses, which are necessary to build a complete picture of the current public health situation. Dr. Kacinski’s appeal extends to the medical professionals working on the ground, asking them to address the operational challenges they are encountering.
The overall effort requires the combined effort of the local community and the health sector to ensure the continuity of data collection and testing. Continued cooperation from every member of the community is vital to help health authorities manage the situation effectively and work toward containment efforts.
