Full statement:
The child Aleksandër Rustani, born in 2019, arrived at the Lushnja Hospital at 14:20, accompanied by the Divjaka ambulance. He arrived in very serious condition, with 70% saturation, according to information provided by the family, and was assisted in the pediatric ward by the doctor on duty and the nursing staff. The necessary assistance was provided, he was carded, tests were taken and the test results were received at 15:30 and 15:45. After this, a consultation with two doctors was called, and at 16:00 the assessment was made by the consultation, which diagnosed him with diffuse bilateral bronchopneumonia and acute respiratory failure.
After it was decided that the child should be urgently taken to the QSUT, the ambulance was prepared. The wait had prevented the departure, as the mother and child refused to travel without the presence of the grandfather. During this entire time, the child was under the supervision and treatment of doctors.
At 17:00, the child was transported to an ambulance, equipped with oxygen, and during the journey he vomited and lost consciousness. The pediatrician who was to accompany him to Tirana attempted to resuscitate him by performing cardiac massage. The child was returned to the emergency room in his friend's room, where resuscitation by doctors continued the entire time, but due to his serious condition, the child passed away. Death was confirmed at 17:20.
