Journalist Osman Stafa has raised the alarm about the worrying situation in the Pediatric Emergency Room of the QSUT. He compared it to a bank counter.
In his complaint, the journalist says that parents of sick children are forced to get a ticket from a ticket machine and wait in line, instead of the children being treated immediately according to the urgency of their health condition.
The staff writes that this system is a form of abuse of medical standards, as emergencies operate according to the condition of patients and not numerical queues.
He emphasizes that the situation becomes even more critical during periods of viral infections, when hundreds of children are faced with only two doctors and four nurses, spread out in several small rooms.
"It is intolerable that children with fever, breathing problems or vomiting are forced to wait together in a crowded environment, increasing the risk of spreading infections, " says Stafa.
"In the Pediatric Emergency Room at the QSUT, where hundreds of parents go every day with their sick children, the system has turned into a mockery and absurdity in the treatment of the little ones.
Instead of a sick child being seen immediately by emergency medical personnel, parents are forced to go to a ticket machine, get a ticket, and wait in "line", like at a bank!
This is medical unscience and an abuse of healthcare standards, because the emergency room does not operate in a queue, but with triage (emergency categorization), with whoever is most seriously ill being treated first.
But the absurdity doesn't end there:
Hundreds of children a day, especially during viral periods, are faced with only 2 doctors and 4 nurses, spread out in just 2-3 small rooms.
Children with fevers, vomiting, and breathing problems wait together in a crowded space, spreading infections to each other.
Instead of expanding capacity and increasing staff, institutions have introduced a ridiculous mechanism that turns emergencies into bank counters.
The Pediatric Emergency Department, where cases from all over Albania collide, cannot function as a 2+1, with 2 doctors and 4 nurses. Intolerable!
The Pediatric Emergency Department should have the same space as the other major emergency departments of the QSUT. Children are not “numbers”! They need care, priority, and dignity.
"Healthcare is not done with queues, but with doctors, nurses, and proper organization ," the journalist writes.
