Erion Braçe joins the opposition: Residents of Unit 5 have been denied

MP Erion Braçe raised concerns in the Assembly today about the lack of health services in Administrative Unit No. 5 in Tirana, calling the situation unacceptable and a violation of the basic right to health care.

Braçe emphasized that the unit with about 20 thousand inhabitants does not have a functional polyclinic, but only several improvised ambulances on the first floors of buildings, which according to him do not even meet the minimum conditions for providing services.

According to the MP, one of the main ambulances in the area has been closed and moved further away, making access even more difficult for the elderly. He noted that pensioners are forced to walk steps from the Palace of Arrows to the "Vasil Shanto" school to receive basic services.

"The elderly residents of Unit 5 have been denied healthcare services," said Braçe, demanding immediate intervention from the responsible institutions to restore and improve the service.

"I want to raise concerns about healthcare. The right to healthcare is vital. There are many people living in unit 5 here and it is a concern about healthcare."

There is no polyclinic, but ambulances are located on the first floors of the buildings. One of the main ambulances has been closed and has been moved further away.

"Pensioners have to walk thousands of steps to get from the Palace of Arrows to the Vasil Shanto school. These elderly people in this unit that has 20 thousand inhabitants have been denied health services," said Braçe./ CNA
