The building that houses Kosovo’s Ministry of Health today used to be the only clinic in Pristina until after the Second World War. Located at what was considered the outskirts of the old town of Pristina, Dragodan, the clinic was built during the Ottoman rule and served its citizens with an 80-bed capacity. Two famous doctors of the time Dr. Tefik and Dr. Pantelić worked in the clinic during the interwar period in very poor conditions and with limited staff when the city was hit with grave diseases such as tuberculosis, hepatitis, typhus and pertussis.
