Thanking for the meeting, Mr. Agron Bytyqi-Executive Director and Mr. Besim Kodra-Program Director said that the Patients’ Rights Association in Kosovo (PRAK) is a non-governmental organization, founded in 2013 in order to promote and protect the rights of patients in our country. The main purpose is to ensure each individual has access in high quality health services, and is informed on his rights and responsibilities as a patient, and that every person has the right to receive dignified and professional treatment. So, PRAK works actively to educate the citizens on their rights, and to help them understand health system processes.

Therefore, it was said that considering UFAGJ, as a higher educational institution which also has the Faculty of Medicine within its framework, together with PRAK, it can serve as a good basis for organizing joint activities, creating opportunities for students to develop their practical and research skills, as well as promoting innovation in the field of healthcare and health policies. At this meeting, it was said that the forms of cooperation between the parties could be joint research projects, professional practices and training, curricula and educational models, etc. After the introductory part of the presentation, the ceremonial part of the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation followed, accompanied by photos from this meeting.
