Donation scandal/ Illegal scheme of fertilization clinics in Tirana revealed:

Clinics in Tirana are selling female eggs for a fee. Fiks Fare reveals how the network works and how illegal trade is carried out in fertility clinics in Tirana.

Social networks are increasingly used to advertise products, services or to sell.

On the social network TikTok, Fiks Fare discovered a page called EGG (Eggs) which advertised the sale of female eggs for a fee of 1,000 euros.

Initially, the journalists of Fiksi communicated with messages to express interest. The page on Tik Tok requested data such as name, age, height, eye color, weight, blood type, and above all emphasized that the Telegram application was required. After the first conversations on TikTok, we communicate on Telegram, where we are asked for the date of the start and end of the menstrual cycle, and we are assured of the payment of 1000 euros for individuals with an Albanian passport. Finally, in the conversations on Telegram, the payment will be made on the day of the donation, and the hospital coordinator will contact us.

Immediately after this, a message arrives on the journalist's phone from the coordinator of Turkish International Hospital, named Lira.

Fiks Fare went to the hospital premises which is located in the Blloku area. The coordinator explains to us that initially the girl will undergo tests such as blood type, endometriosis, etc. and a gynecological medical examination, where it will be assessed whether egg donation can be done. They must be healthy as they will be donated for the birth of a baby. Payment is made in cash by the hospital, the coordinator claims.

Immediately after this, the Fix journalist goes to confront the coordinator of the Turkish International Hospital to ask her about the trade that is carried out by selling eggs for a fee.

Ms. Lira denies the procedure and justifies herself by saying "I asked the girl how she trusts TikTok" and then locks herself in the office, refusing to provide explanations.

But is it only Turkish International Hospital that carries out this illegal activity in Albania?

Fiks Fare also went to one of the most well-known gynecological clinics in Tirana.

Glozheni Clinic.

Initially, a doctor claims the payment is 1,000 euros and that appropriate treatments must be followed.

During the medical visit, doctor Elko Glozheni claims that the girl must first undergo tests to see if she is in the right conditions for this procedure, and then directs the Fiksi journalist to the laboratory to perform the analysis.

After the investigation, Fiks Fae went to the Glozheni clinic to confront doctor Elko Glozheni.

He declares that we should go out better, so that it doesn't get carried away. "Nobody sells eggs," the doctor asserted without explaining why 1,000 euros are paid for the donation.

Money can be a quick fix for girls in financial difficulty, but are they aware of what is required of them to benefit from this money?

Fiks Fare requested information from the Ministry of Health regarding the procedure for donating female eggs for payment.

In the response received, the Ministry of Health explains that according to Article 6, point 1 of Law 10454 of 21.07.2011 "On the transplantation of tissues, cells and organs of human origin for the purpose of transplantation, financial gain is prohibited."

Consequently, the sale and purchase of female oocytes is not permitted in the Republic of Albania.

Fiks Fare documented with sound and images how this illegal activity takes place in the heart of Tirana in the most popular clinics.
