After the recent scandal at the Oncology Hospital in Tirana, Doctor Alketa Ymeri Pere addressed journalists in unethical and intimidating language during an interview.

Dr. Alketa Ymeri Pere, a doctor at the Oncology Hospital, has broken her silence regarding the scandal involving the treatment of cancer patients. However, instead of addressing the scandal directly, she expressed anger towards journalists for publishing unflattering photos of her in the media.

`You journalists have upset me by distorting my photos. Ethics should be maintained because that’s what you’re trained for.` stated Ms. Ymeri Pere.
