Dozens of expired medications and hospital waste were found in the health center of the village of Funaras, Librazhd.

The hospital remains were found by Fiks journalists in the room where the patients' injections are made, in several boxes of moltos and patinas.

In this room there were two boxes where syringes and needles were kept in one of them, while in the other box there were half-filled and empty serum bottles and ampoule bottles.

In addition to hospital waste, the other problem was related to the expiration of medications and the lack of medications in this clinic.

The medications that were found in this health center belonged to the years 2019, 2022, 2023 and January 2024.

Adrenaline, Atropine, Cezol, Ampicillin, Magnesium Sulphate, Aga, Acid Folk, these are some of the expired medicines that were found by the journalists of the show Fiks Fare in this health center. Expired medications were found among medications that were not expired.

Fiks reporters asked the nurses of this health center and they said that they did not use them, but as to the reason why they were not removed, they did not give an answer.

Another problem was the structure of this health center, which has cracked, damp walls and broken windows.

The doctor of this health center, Endri Kaza, told Fiksin that these medicines are not used and are kept aside so as not to be confused with other medicines. While the journalists found them among the unexpired ones, but the doctor does not accept.

He justified it with the fact that these medications were not used and that the patients simply make the injections there and do not receive any service with the medications located in the center. They can only be used in emergencies. But even in those emergency cases, we hope that expired ones are not used!/ tch
