On the occasion of the Annual European Patients 'Rights Day, "Together for Life" (TFL), historic national partner from Albania of ACN, celebrates its commitment to protect patients' rights with important legal awards.

Three children gained their rights after three years of efforts and commitment of "Together for Life" organisation in Albania to address the issue of children born with hearing problems.
The Administrative Court of Tirana decided to accept the request of the TFL's lawyer to compensate with 9,300,000 all the family of a 5-year-old patient with hearing problems, meanwhile for the second case the hospital decided to approve the agreement to include the child on the waiting list and the third case benefited from the surgery after one year of positive pressure on the public institutions.
