| Home for the elderly in Shkodra |
Elderly people living in the Shkodra asylum can fall prey to using expired medicines.
The alarm was raised by the people's advocate, who found that this center had expired medicines and insufficient food quotas to feed, Euronews reports.
Even more disturbing is the fact that in this asylum where 55 elderly people are over 50, it has been seen that the daily food quota is insufficient. In his report, the ombudsman states that:
"The food quota was in the amount of 360 leks per day for each person treated at the center, which was recently insufficient for the beneficiaries due to changes reflected in market prices and galloping inflation."
The problems at the old people's home in Shkodër do not end there. The ombudsman raised the lack of staff as a concern.
