Rama follows China's example, promises to build a hospital for 30 days

Edi Rama and Health Minister saw closely today the premises a former private university in Tirana, which they announced, will return to a COVID-19 hospital in the country.

The prime minister said the building would be converted into quarantine for the sick affected by Covid-19 who are on the road to recovery. Rama stressed that the challenge for the government remains to return to the hospital for a 30-day term.

“Our challenge is that within 30 we're going to hospital, we don't have to keep people at the Infective Hospital who are in relief conditions, but we're taking them here. So we also psychologically facilitate doctors”, Rama said.

Health Minister Ogerta Manastiu gave details of how the hospital will function and the facilities it will offer.

Every room has its own toilet, will adapt for those who are sick to recovery. In conditions that can soon be adopted, a pharmacy, a deposit of hospital waste, a basic imaging and laboratory. Oxygen installations will also take place in the designated rooms, as these are going to lay down what is in the healing phase, but they will have the necessary assistance. Makes it easier to park. And at a second stage, development can serve as a hospital facility, but that can serve at university. It can fit into the long term. Within a 20-day term we'll start work, this is the fourth scenario that we already have capacity.”, Manastirliu added.

A news report that surprised the world two months ago was how China turned an old building into a hospital for Coronavirus sufferers within 10 days. News that seems, along with the lack of hospital medicine in our country, has inspired Rama to seek the creation of a new hospital within a month. /
