At a time when diabetes is becoming an epidemic, ophthalmologists are urging the Ministry of Health to intervene to prevent the damage caused by diabetes to the eyes of patients, as 40% of them are affected by diabetic retinopathy and 1% of them are blind .
A patient with diabetic retinopathy is treated with eye injections to avoid going blind, which are reimbursed, but as never before the Ministry of Health to reduce costs has reduced the treatment time of patients.
“The administration cannot reduce the treatment, it must be done by the doctors“, Says Pajtim Lutaj
The Association of Ophthalmologists wants to start screening patients and create a register of patients with retinopathy to stop blinding citizens.
The screening program was prepared by Albanian and foreign experts who participated in the first congress of the association of ophthalmologists, but requires the approval of the Ministry of Health.
