History

The special hospital in the village of Liško conducts a hospital healthcare activity and specialist – consultative healthcare activity in the field of diseases of the respiratory system as well as pulmonary and abortive tuberculosis. The hospital made its start in 1946 and has survived to date under different names

Earth sanatorium – Lesok

On June 21, 1946, the Ministry of People’s Health of People’s Republic of Macedonia, in one of the quarters of the monastery complex “St. Atanasij “in the village. Lesok – Tetovo, founded the so-called “Sanatorium” with a capacity of 70 beds.

The beginnings of the work of the sanatorium are closely related to the name of primarius Dr. Klimentje Milosevic, a phthisiologist, a former physician at the Royal Court in Belgrade, originally from Ohrid. Due to the lack of staff in the then Republic of Macedonia, at the request of the Ministry of National Health, Dr. Milosevic was sent to Macedonia. Primarius Dr. Klimentje Milosevic as the first manager of the Earth sanatorium organized the work in extremely difficult conditions but still with the laborious work successfully cured patients from all over Macedonia, neighboring Serbia, but also from other republics. The monastery lodgings became narrower so that they could respond spatially to the growing needs of the increasing influx of the sick. For those reasons, in the southern part of the monastery complex in 1951, a new facility was built as a modern hospital with a capacity of 100 beds.

Special hospital for tuberculosis – Lesok

Immediately after moving to the new facility, the Sanatorium was renamed to the Special Hospital for Tuberculosis, which functioned under the guidance and supervision of the Ministry of Health of the People’s Republic of Macedonia.

In 1951, the new purpose-built building was universal, but its capacity did not meet the needs for treating tuberculosis patients. Because of this, tin huts in the hospital’s yard were installed, which increased the capacity to 120 beds.

With the decision of the Government of the People’s Republic of Macedonia from 01.07.1953, the Tuberculosis Hospital passed under the direction and supervision of BN of Tetovo Borough until 31.12.1954.

After the departure of Prim Dr Klimenti Milosevic, the Leshok hospital remained without a phthisiologist. The National Council for National Health of the People’s Republic of Macedonia, with a new decision of the Government, took the Special Hospital for Tuberculosis under its supervision until June 30, 1958, and it was provided by the medical staff. Thus, in the period from 1953 to 01.05.1958, in the Special Hospital for Tuberculosis in the village. Lesok worked several doctors for a limited time: Dr. Lj. Kotevski, Dr. T. Pozharenkov, Dr. K.Minchev, Dr. T. Lazov, Dr. R. Nanovik, Dr. G. Karagotsev, Dr. B. Tsipushev, Dr. Z. Zakharievsky, Dr I. Trpenov and Dr. S. Zoycheva. During the stay at the hospital, each of the doctors was appointed as a Manager, and despite the treatment of the sick, he was forced to solve all the administrative, material, financial and organizational problems of the institution.

Hospital for breast diseases and tuberculosis – Tetovo

In the 70s, the transformation of the phthisiological into the pneumophytic activity began. This change is followed by changing the program of specialization, as well as with a new orientation in the work of the previous antituberculous dispensaries and special tuberculosis hospitals.

On 05.11.1979, the Special Hospital for Tuberculosis was re-registered as a Hospital for Breast Diseases and Tuberculosis “Tetovo” in the village of Leshok, thus expanding its activity. The number of treated patients from nonspecific lung diseases was increasing.

The work of the Hospital was satisfactory, with a tendency of increasing the number and type of health services it provided, but a major obstacle to development was that the work was taking place in an already ruined object, which was also dislocated from the administrative center.

At that time, the hospital provided hospital and specialist consultative health care for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and other lung diseases. For its activity the hospital had 1530 m2 total area. In the hospital hospital there were housed: specialist consultative ambulance, spirometry department, ECG, laboratory, bronchial department, male and female department, while the X-ray and physiotherapy department were located in the mounting barracks.

Since 1982, until its integration with the Medical Center Tetovo, the Director’s Office was Dr. Spaso Krstevski, who made a special contribution to the affirmation and development of the hospital and opened the doors to several young doctors. In 1983, Dr. Dzevdet Bexheti was employed at the hospital who, after completing the specialization in internal medicine, left the hospital. In 1986, Dr. Stojadin Naumovski, senior researcher, graduated from the hospital for about two years and left for the United States.

In 1988, in order to enable increase of the capacity and quality of the hospital according to the evident needs, Dr. Maja Zakaska, Dr. Ismail Vajti and Dr. Elizabeta Trajkovska were admitted to the hospital.

At the referendum conducted on January 12, 1990, the hospital was integrated with the PHO Medical Center Tetovo, after which the hospital continued to function as a dislocated department, namely PE FOR WHOLESAL DISEASES AND TUBERCULOSIS IN THE COMPOSITION OF PHO JU MEDICAL CENTER TETOVO

At this time of work at the hospital were: Dr. Gjorce Jovanovski, Dr. Spaso Krstevski, Dr. Dzhezdet Bexheti, Dr. Maja Zakoska, Dr. Ismail Vaiiti and Dr. Elizabeta Trajkovska.

In the period 1992-1995 Dr. Gjorche Jovanovski was director of the PHO Medical Center Tetovo and Dr. Spaso Krstevski and Dr. Femi Demiri his assistants.

At the hospital in the village. Leshok left Dr. Maja Zakoska as a specialist pneumothymophysiologist and Dr. Ismail Vaiti, as a doctor of specialization.

TERMINATION OF THE WORK OF THE HOSPITAL IN LESHOK

On July 24, 2001, the hospital stopped working because of the worsening security situation with a military conflict, but the staff continued with outpatient visits until 23 July 2001, when he left the hospital shortly before the expulsion of the population from the village. Lesok.
