Periskopi(4 years ago)
(4 years ago)At the Institute of Oncology now and many days, disease - stricken patients are failing to receive radio therapy services. The Health Ministry has said that today the list of patients to be sent to Albania for treatment is expected to be finalised, but has not indicated whether, apart from radio therapy, patients will be compensated [...]
Even after two weeks of cutting off radio therapy services at the KKUK Institute of Oncology, it is still not known how 80 patients who are left without radio therapy sessions. The Ministry of Health has not yet detailed the agreement with Albania to send these patients for treatment there.
The Oncology Institute, authorising the Ministry of Health, is in direct communication with Albania's MS, and the MS expects today to finalise the list of patients to be sent to Albania for radio therapy. For other technical and logistical details, the two respective ministries agree, in co-operation with USKKUK as well, said of RTK in a ministry response.
But at the Oncology Institute, they say they have completed the lists as the MSH has requested.
Ardian Milaku, director of the Institute of Oncology, said they have been instructed to make a list of patients who have been treated to make priorities and those patients go to Albania under the agreement they've been dealing with, and they're more than 80 and they're more likely to be in waiting capacity.
Ardian Milaku, who is also an oncologist, shows how harmful it is to patients to cut the treatment.
It's not good to be expected, but it can become a dosage modification to achieve the right radiobiological effect so that the patient does not suffer? The therapy is 5 days and it's contingent”, he said.
Because treating patients with radio therapy is continuous and means taking therapy for five days in a row for several sessions, RTK is interested in whether travel spending and staying abroad will be covered by the state, but no response has been received.
While there is not yet an official report on the damage to radio therapy, there is also little information about when services can be returned to radio therapy and stroke, since it is out of office, why it has not been damaged but placed in the same space.
However, the USKKUK Directorate through a media communique has been praised for saving half a million euros with the use of brahirapy for last year, marking it as success.
