Since January 7, after the request of Minister of Health, Malteser Albania took over the complete medical and sanitary service of the collective center in a former military base in Rrenc, where around 200 Roma people are living since January 5. Two medical teams compound by nurses and medical doctors (general practitioners and specialist doctors) are present six to seven hours per day at the center offering their service to everyone who needs. Medical visits, Medicaments, medical consults to hospital, medical analyses are all covered by Malteser Albania. A Malteser ambulance car and an emergency medical doctor provide 24-hour on call service.
Besides medical teams, another psychosocial team
Besides medical teams, another psychosocial team
compound by social workers and psychologists, Malteser Albania volunteers, continues to support the Roma people in this collective center.
The emotional wounds may be less visible than the destruction of homes and physical infrastructure, but it often takes far longer to recover from the emotional and psychological impact than to overcome the material losses.
Malteser Albania, supported by Malteser Hilfsdients Germany and Malteser Hospitaldienst Austria, will run these services until the Roma population will leave this center. At this step civil protection teams of Malteser Albania will support them to rebuild their houses.
