Three miners in serious conditions

The surgeon Kenan Bajrakci explains that miner Basri Toska is out of life danger, while the two others will undergo surgery.

“Zaimi is out of life danger and in more stable conditions. His lungs are better and will allow us to operate. The third patient is still in life danger, at the reanimation of the Lapraka Hospital. He has serious head damages, cranium fracture, left clavicle fracture in the right foot and pneumotoraxis. The other patient, Basri Toska, is in better conditions and will not need interventions as the two others, but he will be kept under surveillance”, the doctor said.

The mother of Zaim Perloka, who arrived in Tirana right after her son was brought for receiving treatment, says that her son has been working in this mine for 20 years, and that lately he had been involved in the miners’ strike.
