his fare. Heanhile, a copy of his Flete-Dalje is sent i the Hilitary

of the MAK. This section prepares a proposal for teeTorary discharge,
which is forwarded to the Sek. VIII Nbrapavjia of the NHK. That body

46. "Resources: This Depot has medicines and drugs of Albanian, Yugoslav, 5oviet, Czech,
Ttalian, 1"tench, Dritish and US production. Those of non-soviet or Satellite oriin are
remnants of the atoaka confiecated from private pharmacies after the liberation of Albania
in 1945. Hungarian, Rumanian, Soviet and Czech drugs have been imported since 1945. Some
drugs and medicines are produced at the laboratory of the Civilian Hospital of the City
of Tirana, which is also on P.r. Bajram Curri. The most important stocks in the Depot
are:
Soviet penicillin
Czech streptomycin
US oil?type penicillin
US-brand tablets for 'abdominal' typhoid fever
Albanian aspirin
-..._..gbanian phials of a calcium proparation
Czoch vitamin preparations - A, B, and C
Albanian miknura bacoli used against malaria
Albanian TETEMF-rirr---
The chief shortages are quinine and good sedatives. The short stocks at the Depot
naturally mean short stocks in the various military infirmaries.
47. Mietribution: This Depot supplies medicines and drugs to ;he Amy, Navy, Air
Force and Mbrojtia Popullore, Jut not to the 3.5E. The Sigurimi Aotit depends on
the Ministry of Interior, which has its own Drug Depot. Tu obtain supplies from
the Depos Pergjithshem Farmacivet Ushtarake a military infirmary or hospital must file
a written request with the Sok. Farmacia. The request must have the approvea of the
Health Section of the regiment or division oN which the infirmary or hospital depends.
Thus the Kryeinfarmier or N/Mjek of the Informjeria of a unit files his request with
the Health Section of his regiment or division; the Chief N/Mjek of that body forwards
it to the MNK. Capt. Goga must CK the request and forward the answer back t1i.ou6h
official channels. Only then may the Infermjeria of the unit collect supplies at tae
Depot. Tho pharmacy of the General Military Hospital of Tirana must follow this
same procedure, though he &mat is located in its courtyard.
