ALBANIAN MEDICAL JOURNAL SUPPLEMENTA new ethos: Clinical psychology in the context ofthe Albanian Public HealthSuela Ndoja 11Italian Albanian Association.For the last two years, I have been involved inefforts to develop and evaluate information-basedand value-based systems of social care for childrenand young people with serious mental and healthchallenges. Having received my scientific studies inclinical psychology in 2010, this effort to work withthese persons introduced me with theimplementation of an effective system of social andhealth care as an important part of a multidisciplinaryeffort to enhance the social andemotional well-being of children and youngindividuals. This approach has really attracted me toexpand on the competencies and knowledge that Ihave gained through my studies. Thus, I do mind acall for a new ethos not to diminish the contributionthat clinical psychology has made. It is to indicatethat the contribution of clinical psychology shouldaddress social needs in the context of Public Health.Therefore, the aim would be to suggest a valuebasedsystem of care to Mental Health Services asan important movement for clinical psychology inthe context of the Albanian Public Health addressingthe society needs including non-communicablediseases, too. This, I suggest to be one of the mostsuitable keys to clinical psychologists understandingthe clinical practice in the core definition of theprofessions competencies. On the other hand, thiswould increase the number of persons who will behelped by psychological interventions investigatingtheir inner world.Keywords: clinical psychology, ethos, publichealth.56 ALBANIAN MEDICAL JOURNAL SUPPLEMENT
INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH CONFERENCE IN TIRANA, ALBANIAReforms and challenges of post-conflict Kosovohealth systemMustafa Mybera 11Institute of Public Health, Pristine, Kosovo.Before its collapse, Kosovos healthcare system wasan integrated part of the Former YugoslavRepublics System (known for its relatively welladvancedsystem for at that time). Standstill hadbegun in the last decade of the twentieth Centuryas a result of political disintegration of the formerstate. The enthusiasm of the healthcare professionalsand people of Kosovo that at the end of the conflicthealthcare services would consolidate did not provejust right. Although one can claim that reorganizationof Kosovo healthcare was a serious push (especiallyin the first years after the conflict), the intensity ofdevelopment begun to fall at the latter stages. Whilethe basic legislation for the operation of the currenthealthcare system in Kosovo does exist, the mainreason for the reform stagnation is the lack of properimplementation of the laws and measures are not setas to a meaningful system of accountability.Twelve years have passed by since the 1999 warconflictand, although Kosovo has made progressin many areas, it has not yet consolidated a healthsystem comparable to those of other Europeancountries. Intending to get out of difficult situation,several healthcare strategic plans have beendeveloped in the past decade in Kosovo, butattempts in this direction have not been particularlyfruitful.This paper describes the actual healthcare complexityof a situation in Kosovo, 12 years after the end ofthe 1999 war-conflict. Interconnection and historicalbackground is also looked upon and is describedin the flow of events. Finally, the description oftransfer competencies from internationaladministrators to the local authorities as well as theflow of strategic planning that took place since 1999is also critically analyzed.Keywords: challenges, conflict, Kosovo, reform, reorganization, results.ALBANIAN MEDICAL JOURNAL SUPPLEMENT57
