A serious incident has been reported at the Korçë Hospital, where a 72-year-old surgeon was arrested following allegations of sexual harassment made by a 21-year-old patient. The young woman had gone to the emergency room suffering from severe stomach pain and vomiting. After medical examinations, doctors decided she needed surgery for appendicitis.

According to the complaint filed by the 21-year-old, the surgeon treating her, Nikolla Nunka, allegedly touched her inappropriately, claiming it was part of a medical examination.

Following the report, Korçë Police took the woman’s testimony and immediately launched procedural actions regarding the case.

Sources say the young woman remains hospitalized in Korçë, while the 72-year-old doctor was escorted and later arrested by police officers. Investigations are continuing to fully clarify the incident and verify all circumstances surrounding the case.
