It’s good that doctors from Magnisia went to Korça and brought a mobile laboratory with them. 36 specialists in three days is serious. I wonder what specialties were most in demand among the locals.

Νίκος Σταθόπουλος

Good thing they went with the mobile unit, because in Kortsa they don't have such equipment easily. 36 doctors from 15 specialties in three days is really a lot. Really, how many people did they actually get to see?

Иван Орлов

It’s good that we took a mobile laboratory with us; without it, such examinations could not be organized in Korça. 36 doctors from 15 specialties in three days is a lot, well done. It’s interesting how many people were eventually accepted, as they asked Ekaterina.

Ирина Андреева

It’s good that they called from Magnisia with a mobile laboratory - without it such examinations would not be possible in Korça. 36 doctors in three days, and from fifteen specialties, this is a serious landing. I wonder if there was enough time for even those most in need, or if the queue lasted until the evening.

Πέτρος Λαμπρόπουλος

Well said Niko, without the mobile unit it would be very difficult. I heard that they caught around 650 people over the three days, which is an impressive number. How do you see it, should they repeat it next year?

Πόσο ωραία που πήγαν με την κινητή μονάδα και έκαναν 650 εξετάσεις σε τρεις μέρες. Χωρίς αυτόν τον εξοπλισμό από τη Μαγνησία δεν θα τα κατάφερναν. Θα άξιζε να το ξανακάνουν του χρόνου, όπως λέει και ο Πέτρος.

Katarina Simić

It's good that they called from Magnesia with that mobile unit, without it it would have been difficult in Korča. 650 people in three days is a serious number, well done. I'm interested in which specialties were most sought after, as Ekaterina asked.

Иван Марков

It's good that they took the mobile laboratory from Magnesia, otherwise it wouldn't have reached Korcha. 650 people in three days with 36 doctors from 15 specialties - serious work. I wonder if they were able to examine more children or adults, as Ekaterina asks about the specialties.

Константин Комаров

It’s good that they called from Magnisia with a mobile laboratory - without it, Korça would not be able to handle such volumes. 650 people in three days with 36 doctors is solid. It’s interesting that Ekaterina also asked what specialties were most in demand among the locals.

Емил Ангелов

Well said Ivan, the mobile unit really was the key. From what I've read, they've seen quite a few more adults, especially for heart and eye problems, but several dozen children have gone through the pediatrician and dentist, too. What do you think, should they include an ultrasound for the thyroid gland next time, because it is often found in Korcha?

Γιάννης Κωνσταντίνου

Yes, the mobile unit made all the difference, without it they wouldn't have caught anything. 650 people in three days is a serious number, but with 36 doctors I expected a bit more. You, Niko, do you think they should also go to other cities in Albania next year?

Дмитрий Семёнов

It’s good that the mobile laboratory went - in Korça without it it would have been really difficult to organize everything humanly. 36 doctors in three days is, of course, a lot, but I would still ask if they even had time to do basic blood tests and look at the heart of the elderly. Otherwise the queue must have been huge.

Кирил Стоянов

Well Ivan, the mobile unit must have done a good job of serving 650 people in such a short time. I wonder if they were able to examine more children or adults, as Ekaterina asks about the specialties. Maybe next time they will think about a cardiologist with a portable device, because the adults in Korča probably needed exactly that.

Елена Петкова

Yes, Emile, the mobile unit has really made everything easier, especially for seniors with heart and eye problems. Here in Sofia, we also often see problems with the thyroid gland, so an ultrasound would be useful. Do you think the local doctors in Korča could help next time by referring patients?
