"We have no information", the bone measuring device has not been

The editors of the show "Stop" received a complaint about the Polyclinic of Specialities no. 3, since the bone density measurement device has not been working for 6 months. We have also tried this with the hidden camera, where Polyclinic employees admit that the device does not work, but they do not know if it will be fixed and when.

Citizen: How are you? Please, is the bone measuring machine fixed?

Employee: No!

Citizen: I'm sorry once again, I'm bothering you! Do you know when it will be fixed?

Employee: No, we don't have any kind of information.

Citizen: It's been months, so...

Employee: I know!

Citizen: Thank you!

Some patients are even forced to turn to the private sector, where prices vary from 40-77 thousand old lek, depending on the area being examined.

Citizen: How are you?

Employee: Good! How was your day?

Citizen: I came to ask about the bone measurement.

Employee: Yes!

Citizen: Are they made here?

Employee: Yes, they do! Any recipes?

Citizen: No, I don't have it, I will bring my mother, but I wanted to know how much it costs?

Employee: That's why I asked you about the recipe, because it depends on the measurements. If the spine and both legs are measured, it costs 40,000 old lek. If the doctor has fixed the whole body: spine, legs and hands, it makes 70 thousand ALL. These are the prices.

Citizen: Ok! Thank you very much! Goodbye!

Employee: All the best!

"Stop" also met the director of the Polyclinic Lidra Zikaj, who says that she is aware of the problem and that in May she wrote to the Ministry of the line, but it has not been fixed yet. She promises that at the beginning of November the device will be fixed.

Journalist: The show "Stop" received a complaint from some patients who suffer from bone problems. They haven't received this bone measurement service for 6 months, and they told us to come and present ourselves at the Health Center and we were not told anything.

Lidra Zikaj, director of the Polyclinic: On May 17, we referred to the local unit that we have, or the health operators who are not working, suffered a defect.

Journalist: We're calling it official from May until now in October, why hasn't it been fixed?

Lidra Zikaj, director of the Polyclinic: We are still dealing with the procedures to be able to fix it.

Journalist: Who has the authority to fix it?

Lidra Zikaj, director of the Polyclinic: Normally, it will be fixed very quickly.

Journalist: When?

Lidra Zikaj, director of the Polyclinic: It is expected to be fixed within this month and I hope that you will be the one to see the patients who will be doing it. Patients who have not received it as a service, all those who need it...

Journalist: They go to the private person who is close, 77 thousand ALL. Please!

Lidra Zikaj, director of the Polyclinic: They don't have to go to the private clinic. If they go to the private sector, they abuse it.

Journalist: Let me tell you, doctor...

Lidra Zikaj, director of the Polyclinic: All those who have given their name, in the big block where you can see the date they started...

Journalist: Half of them are directed to the private sector.

Lidra Zikaj, director of the Polyclinic: And I tell everyone from morning until dinner, "please don't do it in private", because you will do it in us. You will come on November 1.

Journalist: I will come again!/ tvklan
