TIRANA, December 19 /ATA/ Mothers and newborn babies will soon receive better services at the “Queen Geraldine” maternity home in Tirana.
This maternity home is recently being transformed in infrastructure, logistics and services and about 20 thousand patients per year will see European standards, with state-of-the-art conditions and technology.
Minister of Health and Social Protection Evis Sala visited the hospital premises closely and met with the doctors who serve in this institution.
Sala said that the new premises are wonderful and she took the opportunity to congratulate the doctors who have worked so far in one third of the space.
“Having one third of the spaces available, but providing the same quality and volume of work is not easy,” said Sala.
Minister Sala noted the necessity of having, “standard operating protocols and procedures make it easier to control and apply better practices. There is no progress if there is no complete digitalization of the system”.
The reconstruction and expansion project of the “Queen Geraldine” maternity hospital included: a new 3 floors building and an underground floor; the complete reconstruction of the historical building as well as the expansion of the existing Obstetrics facility. /k.s/j.p/p.s./
