The number of perinatal deaths has decreased in Kosovo and no cases of maternal deaths were recorded during 2014 according to a report presented by the Ministry of Health. The report states that the perinatal death rate in 2014 was 11 percent in contrast to 2000 when it reached 29 percent. Health Minister Imet Rrahmani welcomed the results but said that they have still to establish how many infants are delivered outside Kosovo health institutions and how high are mortalities that occur outside the Kosovo territory. Head of the World Health Organization for Kosovo (WHO), Skender Syla, made a comparison between the level of perinatal death after the conflict in Kosovo and the situation now. “We can proudly say today that number is four times lower”, he stated.
