At the "Mother Teresa" University Hospital Center, the largest healthcare institution in the country, the problems are not limited to medical services. The pronounced deficiencies also extend to infrastructure, reflecting a continued neglect of minimum standards of orientation and maintenance.
One of the most obvious concerns is related to the orientation signs for patients and family members. In many cases, they are invisible, covered by pine trees, while in other cases they have been damaged or completely "uprooted", making it even more difficult to move around the hospital premises.
For an institution that handles thousands of citizens from all over Albania every day, the lack of functional signage remains a serious organizational and security problem.
Patients in serious condition, worried family members, and the elderly are forced to ask at every turn to find the appropriate ward or service, a situation that does not suit the largest public hospital in the country.
