At a press conference on Thursday, SDSM leader Filipche published documents saying they showed that a sample of water unsafe for drinking from a health standpoint had been registered at the Hospital for Lung Diseases in Leshok. He added that relevant institutions had failed to take appropriate measures.
As Filipche explained, the report from the Center for Public Health concerns a sample taken at the Hospital, with a test completion date of May 13. According to the SDSM leader, the document stated that 51 coliform bacteria had been identified in 100 milliliters of water, which was why the sample didn’t meet the conditions for safe drinking water.
Filipche also leveled criticism over the Gostivar water contamination case. However, VMRO-DPMNE responded to Filipche’s accusations, saying the SDSM leader had no credibility whatsoever to talk about the situation in the health sector.
