One protester was taken to the University Trauma Hospital, where he is undergoing medical examinations. He is conscious and in good condition, the Ministry said.

A police officer was also treated at the hospital and discharged on medical advice after receiving the necessary care.

Meanwhile, three protesters with minor injuries were admitted to the Mother Teresa University Hospital Centre (QSUT). Two were discharged after treatment, while the third remained under medical supervision but was not in life-threatening condition.

The Ministry of Health and Social Protection said it was monitoring the situation in continuous coordination with relevant authorities and would provide further updates.

It also dismissed as false information circulating on social media claiming that someone had died at the University Trauma Hospital.

“No deaths have been reported at hospital facilities. The highest level of medical care is being provided to everyone injured,” the Ministry said.

The new units are intended to bring specialised cancer care closer to patients’ homes, reducing the need for long-distance travel while improving access to treatment.

The announcement comes as the chemotherapy unit at the Regional Hospital of Elbasan, central Albania, continues to provide daily treatment for cancer patients from the surrounding area.

The facility has been operating since 2017 and has steadily expanded its services, hospital director Zheni Gjergji said.

“From just 14 patients when the unit began operating in 2017, we treated 156 patients in the first six months of 2026 and administered around 256 chemotherapy sessions,” Gjergji said.

She said treatment is delivered in accordance with decisions taken by the hospital’s multidisciplinary tumour board, with the aim of providing safe, high-quality care as close as possible to patients’ places of residence.

The expansion of regional chemotherapy services forms part of the government’s broader effort to decentralise specialised healthcare and improve access to oncology treatment throughout Albania.
