Prime Minister Edi Rama, on the Christmas eve, visited the paediatric patients at the Paediatric Hospital at Mother Teresa University Hospital Centre that is already undergoing the second stage of its radical transformation under a EUR 6.6 million investment project, designed to turn it into a 120-bed hospital facility to meet highest standards in terms of modernizing care services for small patients, as well as improve working conditions for the health care personnel.

“The project’s second phase envisages rehabilitation and reinforcement of the foundation of the Paediatric Hospital building. The newly renovated facility has now a capacity of 120 beds and features the dialysis service centre, pulmonology and all other care services provided at General Paediatrics. The project’s second phase will this way complete entire Paediatric Hospital complex at the University Hospital Centre. It is a state budget investment worth EUR 6.6 million,” the Minister of Health and Social Protection Ogerta Manastirliu said, adding that the first investment phase has completed with surgery, emergency ward and the intensive care units, which meet their maximum capacities.

PM Rama distributed gifts to small patients who are undergoing specialized health care at the new hospital facility.
