No mammography in Lezha, apparatus cannot be repaired

No mammography in Lezha, apparatus cannot be repaired

The mammography service has not born available for nearly a year at Lezha hospital, as donated apparatus does not work.

This situation is set to continue also, because the repair seems impossible as it is an outdated model.

The only solution according to the Director of Lezha Hospital is a new mammogram machine. 

“This is a device that cannot be put into operation as this production does not offer the highest standards or the best images that are needed to have an accurate diagnosis of the problem,” said Leon Kaza, director of the hospital Lezhë.

In the absence of a mammography apparatus, Lezha's women and girls are forced to travel to Shkodra or Tirana to carry out life-saving examinations.
