Primate of the Albanian Orthodox Church undergoes another surgery
The 95-year-old Primate of the Albanian Orthodox Church, His Beatitude Archbishop Anastasios, has undergone another surgery. The First Hierarch has been fighting for his life for more than 20 days in a clinic in Greece. The bishop’s condition remains serious. This is reported by Romfea.
It is reported that the attempts of doctors to disconnect the Archbishop from mechanical respiratory support were unsuccessful, so it was decided to proceed with a tracheotomy. This is a medical operation that doctors consider necessary in cases of prolonged intubation to reduce the risks associated with it.
