I am really proud that we have the opportunity to strengthen the services in hospital of Shkodra, by adding doctors, such as intensive care doctors or emergency doctors, pediatricians and also cardiologists. These teams will really improve the delivery of medical services in the hospital, will strengthen the services in our hospitals and, above all, will guarantee that medical protocols are followed on time and patient treatments are provided with quality,” said Manastirliu.

We will replicate the good models of  Tirana,  Lushnja, Vlora, new outpatient clinics, where a decent service is provided from the point of view of infrastructure, but also from the point of view of services, because new equipment have been installed, which we plan to do in Shkodra,” said Manastirliu.
