Israelis take over Oncology, Rama: Joint management after the situation with

The Prime Minister seems to be attempting to heal the wounds created in the Government's image by the scandals of recent months in the management of the Oncology Hospital by including a specialized Israeli hospital in co-administration, which will deal with both human resources and investments in this hospital.

"A strategic partnership with one of the most prominent centers of medical excellence in the world, the prestigious hospital of Israel. In a way, it is a co-administration. We need to devote much more human resources to it and this is not just a matter of salaries and technology. We will make QSUT a center of technological excellence in the next 5 years," the prime minister said, A2 CNN reports.

Edi Rama indicated that representatives of the Israeli Hospital will be physically present at this center, while providing details on how this partnership will function, from training to assistance for interventions that cannot be performed by the Oncology team.

"To sum it all up, it should be a golden opportunity for the Oncology "kindergarten without lunch", whether for short-term working visits to Israel, or for long-term one-year visits-stays for certain doctors who will be selected, from our friends, not from the friends of your friends. In particular, a commitment by Sheba Hospital to treat serious cases for children, cases that really require a super-specialized intervention and these super-specialized interventions", said Rama, reports A2 CNN.

According to Rama, the Israelis are giving all this aid for free, without anything in return.

"The friends from Israel are not here to gain anything, neither money nor reputation. They are here to return to the Albanian people in their field, a moral debt for what the Albanian people did for the Jews."

The Prime Minister does not admit that the hospital has a shortage of medications to treat patients, but he finds the hospital's worst problem in the now-departed doctors who are facing justice, reports A2 CNN.

"We return here to this auditorium after a previous meeting that we held as a result of a dramatic situation caused by a group of criminals at the oncology hospital."

Rama refers to the doctors, who are under investigation by SPAK on charges of having set up an abusive scheme to delay the treatment of cancer patients at the Oncology Hospital, with the aim of sending them to a private clinic. The same investigation revealed the failure to put the cobalt therapy device at the Oncology Hospital, installed since 2021, into operation, as well as leaving it in an unsuitable environment, becoming a dangerous source of radioactivity for medical staff and patients. The investigation also documented the smuggling of the hospital's antitumor drugs and their trading in private pharmacies. (A2 Televizion)
