Ten Albanian doctors and 20 nurses have left for Italy today (March 28th) to assist their colleagues in Bergamo in the fight against Covid-19.
A little while ago, in a video posted on Facebook, Prime Minister Rama appeared alongside a group of doctors and the Minister of Health, Ogerta Manastirliu.
?I know that some here in Albania will find it strange that 30 doctors and nurses of our small army of white shirts are leaving today for the line of fire in Italy.
I also know that 30 doctors and nurses do not overthrow the ratio of the invisible enemy's deadly force and the white t-shirts fighting it across the sea.
But I also know that our home has been there ever since Italy when Italian sisters and brothers rescued us and welcomed us and adopted us into their homes when Albania was burning with indescribable pain. "- Rama is heard to say.
The dispatch of Albanian medical personnel to Italy came as a result of talks between Prime Minister Rama and Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio.
The stay of the Albanian team in the country most affected by the virus in Italy will be one month and it will be the Albanian government that will pay for their service and contribution.
