One year after the free check-up program offered by the government, the
authorities have published the statistics about diseases in Albania.
Diabetes, hypertension, heart problems and tumors take the highest
percentage.
The Health Minister said that many people didn’t know they were sick. “4% of the population is pre-diabetic. We cannot avoid the second type diabetes, but the more we can postpone it, the better it is”, he said.
The real data could be even higher, since the check-up program is still undergoing. The results can be received also online, through the government digital service “E-Abania”.
The program is expected to prevent the deterioriation of 450 cases and save 125 million USD.
