After Albanian healthcare reached perfection — with hospitals without shortages, waiting lists that do not exist, and patients who no longer complain about medication — the Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Evis Sala, has decided to move on to another strategic front: gender equality.
During a conversation with students and professors of the Faculty of Social Sciences, the minister enthusiastically presented the innovations of the new Law "On Gender Equality", emphasizing that for the first time, unpaid work and the care economy are recognized as a real economic contribution.
"Equality on paper is not equality in life," she declared, describing the law as a clear political choice to place gender equality at the center of development and well-being.
Meanwhile, in real life, patients continue to search for missing medicines, families continue to raise money for treatments, and doctors continue to work under increased workloads. But perhaps this is precisely why equality is needed: to share the burdens fairly.
Because when the health system has no more problems to solve, it's time to deal with the philosophy of development. And after all, what is a prescription without medicine compared to a law with ideas?
