Since this Thursday morning, rumors have been circulating on social networks that the Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Evis Sala, has submitted her resignation from her post.
According to claims published online, the minister, who received Prime Minister Edi Rama’s “blessing” to head the Health Ministry in September last year, had submitted her resignation. However, no details were given on the reasons that could have led the well-known career doctor to such a decision.
But these allegations have been denied by the Ministry of Health itself. In a reaction to Newsbomb.al, the minister’s advisor, Albana Qehajaj, has officially clarified that Evis Sala continues to be in charge, putting an end to the speculations that have been circulating during the day.
“Minister Sala is in charge,” she briefly told Newsbomb.al.
Evis Sala was appointed Minister of Health and Social Welfare in September last year. A graduate of the University of Tirana, she has built an international career at some of the most prestigious institutions in the world, including the University of Cambridge, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the United States of America, and Policlinico Gemelli in Rome.
