In an interview for the show "This Week" in "News 24", SMI chairman, Monica Kryemadhi, confessed that for five years was suffering from cervical cancer, the reason why he had to undergo a surgical intervention a few weeks later first.

"I feel very good thanks to doctors who were extraordinary. I want to call on all young Albanian girls to pay vaccines against cervical cancer; medicine is not to cure, but to prevent. I had a very difficult health process, I had been under surveillance for 5 years, but the doctors demanded immediate intervention and was difficult because there could be complications. I made abroad, 1/3 of the price in Albania and the biggest guarantee. I did not pay more than 6500 euros, when in Albania it cost 20 thousand euros. "
