Doctor Ilir Allkja says that it is difficult to find a doctor in Albania who has not received a payment for the medical service he has provided. In "Euronews", Allkja said that he himself was paid by his family members and close people.
" It is difficult to find doctors who have not received a tip in their life. I got it, I'm neither ashamed nor afraid. I have received from my people, from cousins, from family members. I remember a conversation 10 years ago with a colleague from Romania.
In Romania, there are 3.2 doctors per 1,000 inhabitants, while Albania has 1 doctor per 1,000 inhabitants, it is scandalous. The doctor tells me that the Minister of Health himself has stated that if people give a tip after the service, take it because you deserve it", he emphasized.
