Scandal at Lushnja hospital.

A serious scandal has occurred and continues to occur at Lushnja Hospital, on the verge of drama, where the lives of Oxygen employees, but also of patients and their families, are at risk.

I have been made aware of several disturbing reports and documents, which I am publishing below, where employees of the oxygen department at Lushnja Hospital have informed the director and the entire management team of this hospital about the serious consequences and the great drama that is occurring with the technical security conditions, more specifically:

With letter no. Prot. 1932, dated 13.12.2024, the specialists of the oxygen department are addressed for the reason that: "Presentation of the technical situation at the Lushnje hospital in the medical gases department (oxygen, nitrogen), where there are no technical safety rules and the risk is at maximum limits, where at any time we are faced with a catastrophe with unforeseen consequences".

They continue in their letter about the breakdowns and the consequences that occurred, up to the explosions of 2 m high bombs, which have endangered the lives of the employees. The flames that have taken hold and the melting of the regulators have been brought under control by the employees.

They write to the patronage director that there is no fire extinguisher in the premises.

They complain that the oxygen cylinders are stored outside the technical safety conditions and at increased risk. The warehouse that serves for their storage is closed and is not opened by the person in charge, who, guess what, is the one who beat the doctor at the Lushnja Hospital and is friends with the patronage director.

With the pressure of the bombs, there is a risk of the hospital being blown up. Tragedy warned.

With letter no. Prot. 1938, dated 16.12.2024, the Oxygen specialists address the Director to ascertain the defect, where they also inform about the explosion that occurred on 14.12.2024, a powerful explosion that is said to have destroyed the technique and the entire distribution network, where the life of a specialist was also endangered. They requested a fixed purchase of fire and the release of the warehouse. The explosion of the cylinder is said to have come from a very worn valve and luckily the other cylinders were empty. They raise concerns about the head of finance, Bedrie Greca, who has not planned the necessary funds.

With letter No. 1974, dated 20.12.2024, it was requested that, in relation to the problems identified in the oxygen department, Altin Alla, the director's friend, be no longer responsible.

On 26.12.2024, the former director of the Hospital issued a warning with a warning of dismissal to Altin Alla and he was dismissed as oxygen manager.

With the arrival of the patronage Roland Ziu as hospital director, on 27.02.2025, with no. Prot. 62, he reappointed, albeit with restraint, Altin Alla as head of oxygen, even after the predicted dramas.

Rumors continue to spread that the replacement of the oxygen pipes from the building to be repaired (7 months old and broken because the building permit was not issued) to the makeshift emergency building are the same, only painted, even though there was a tender for these. But that's for another time.

This scandal cannot go uninvestigated and accountability must be held, so I appeal to the Minister of Health and law enforcement agencies to investigate the case. / CNA
