Health Minister Ilir Demiri said at a press conference on Monday that there is no reason for him to dismiss Organisational Director of the Toxicology Clinic at the Mother Teresa Clinic Centre, Besijana Ilazi.
“Ilazi did not violate any laws for me to initiate her dismissal. In fact, you journalists are making such a fuss about her, when in fact she was not the one to employ the 18 people in question which you have been writing so much about. They’ve been working at the clinic for almost a year since 2023, but back then none of you were writing about it,” Demiri said, and also criticised the journalists that they reported insufficiently or did not report at all about the dire conditions in other clinics around the country and what the government does to deal with those problems.
