The number of citizens who have sought medical assistance at the Vlora Regional Hospital, after showing symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, is increasing. The cases have been mainly identified in the “28 Nëntori” and “29 Nëntori” neighborhoods, where dozens of residents have presented themselves to the hospital for treatment.

According to data, around 90 patients presented and were treated during the week at the Vlora Regional Hospital. During the weekend alone, 55 cases were registered, with 30 citizens seeking medical help on Saturday and another 25 on Sunday.

The patients mainly showed symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. After receiving serum and medical treatment, they were discharged home without the need for hospitalization.

Suspicions about the cause of this situation have centered on the quality of the drinking water. The problem emerged after a repair intervention in the water supply network and the restoration of water supply in the affected areas.

After the cases were identified, the Water Supply Department intervened in these areas. However, so far there is no official confirmation that the health problems of the citizens have resulted from the consumption of drinking water. The exact cause of the cases remains under verification.
