At both facilities, Sediqi directed medical staff and administrative personnel to prioritize service quality and maintain strict ethical responsibilities in their daily duties. He emphasized the importance of addressing patient concerns promptly and ensuring that clinical practices align with established healthcare guidelines. The deputy minister also reviewed feedback mechanisms currently in place to monitor patient satisfaction and staff performance.
