Journalist Osman Stafa raised concerns about the conditions faced by cancer patients at the Oncology Hospital. While describing the hospital as a "concentration camp," Stafa said that patients pay money to sit in an armchair, and some of them even receive chemotherapy in a chair.
"It's a concentration camp at the Oncology Department. You have to pay Lek for a chair where chemotherapy is done. They give 20-30 thousand Lek to get a seat. They sit in chairs to do chemotherapy for 6-7 hours. They are wooden chairs, mothers are 70 years old, without chairs. They need to buy vital equipment for patients suffering from cancer ," Stafa said on the "Top Story" show.
The journalist also brought the testimony of a cancer patient who cannot undergo brachytherapy at the Oncology Department, but has to go to Turkey.
"The state told me that I have to provide brachytherapy myself. In Turkey it is 4-5 thousand euros. I asked to get a loan. If the doctor tells me that I need to have this treatment and this treatment is expensive, I will do my best to provide it. I should have done it a month and a half ago. I even had chemo in a chair, because there was no room ," the patient said.
