"The Mafia, the fiercest enemy of the white shirts and the sick"/

Sali Berisha, during a meeting with medical students, said that the mafia is the fiercest enemy of white shirts and the sick.

According to him, ' the situation is on the verge of crimes against humanity ', while emphasizing that healthcare today has a degradation that in many aspects is approaching that of the 1960s.

"The mafia, the fiercest enemy of the white shirts and the sick, this mafia does not regulate them, because it wants Albanians to go and pay to the private sector. Free healthcare was promised. Do you know that INSTAT, which is controlled by the government, announced that Albanians pay 820 million euros per year for healthcare from their own pockets. All of which is based on corruption. For the last 10 days, no tests have been done in hospitals, because the concession of tests, which is corrupt, tells hospitals that they have run out of kits. All Albanians should go to the private sector," said Berisha.

Excerpt from Berisha's speech:

In 2013 we had one doctor for 600 inhabitants, today we have one doctor for 1100 inhabitants. The EU has one doctor for 300-350 inhabitants.

But if we focus on other aspects, the Kukës hospital, built with taxpayers' money, the new 3 million euro hospital, without a doctor. To operate on the appendix, there is a humanist doctor who has left his number, a surgeon who comes and operates at the Kukës hospital for a fee, of course.

Meanwhile, other hospitals are facing an extraordinary shortage of specialists.

Everything reminds me of the '60s, when pediatricians first started appearing in districts where there were no pediatricians.

Healthcare has taken the hardest hit in the last 4 years. The exodus of doctors has become massive.

You are again people who have studied physiology, biochemistry, and chronic hunger has appeared in a very disturbing form.

Chronic hunger, you know, is hunger in which a person cannot meet the protein minimum, cannot meet the components for the functioning of their body, and then takes these from their own tissues.

An independent UNICEF study shows that 21 percent of families cannot feed their children more than 2 meals. 21 percent!

Pensioners, who number about 760 thousand, 57 percent of them receive a pension lower than 170 euros per month. But you understand yourself, pensioners are also the citizens with the greatest need for medicines.

Meanwhile, today prices in this country have increased faster and more than in any other country.

If you could find an apartment for rent for 150-200 euros in 2013, I mean, today you need 500-600 euros for the same area.

If before I would get a kilo of bread for 400 lek, today I get 900-1000 lek.

Likewise meat and other products.

I am still focusing on this element because it is very important. Pensioners, who in 2013 received an average pension of 143 thousand lekë, if the government had respected and helped them cope with price increases, today they would have had a pension not of 170 thousand lekë, but of 390 thousand lekë.

Now, imagine how these people, a third of the population today, survive only on the handouts given to them by others. Family members, of course.
