6 | When Tamara Dimovska needed treatment for her rare and debilitating spinal disorder, her family was told that Macedonia, a country of just two million people, didn't have the necessary specialist to perform the operation. | Raha nila fitsaboana tamin'ny fikorontanana tsy dia fahita matetika sy fivilanan'ny hazon-damosiny i Tamara Dimovska, nolazaina ny fianakaviany fa tsy nanana manam-pahaizana manokana nilaina mba hanao ny fandidiana i Makedonia, firenena misy olona 2 tapitrisa monja. |
7 | They sought to take her abroad for the complex surgery, but the country's public health insurance fund repeatedly denied their application for funding. | Nitady hevitra ny hitondra azy any ivelany izy ireo noho ilay fandidiana sarotra, kanefa nandà imbetsaka ilay fangatahana fanampiana ara-bola ny tahirim-bola miaro ny fahasalamam-bahoaka ao amin'ny firenena. |
8 | The family used Facebook and held events to ask for donations so that they could pay for the medical costs abroad. | Nampiasa Facebook ilay fianakaviana ary nanao hetsika mba hangatahana fanampiana, amin'izay izy ireo mba ho afaka handoa ireo vola aloa amin'ny fitsaboana any ivelany. |
9 | Authorities then approached the family and asked them to stop the effort, promising that state medical services would take care of it - a new medical center would soon open nearby and 9-year-old Tamara could have the operation at home. | Nanantona ny fianakavina avy eo ireo manampahefana ary nangataka azy ireo hanajanona io ezaka ataony io, nampanantena fa handray an-tànana an'io ny sampan-draharaham-panjakana misahana ny fitsaboana - hisy toeram-pitsaboana vaovao hisokatra akaiky eo, ary ho afaka hodidiana ao an-toerana i Tamara, 9 taona. |
10 | But delays persisted and then it was too late. | Fa betsaka loatra ny fahataràna ary avy eo tara loatra izany. |
11 | Tamara died on February 9, 2015. | Maty ny 9 Febroary 2015 i Tamara. |
12 | Amid a series of protests on public expenditures and corruption, a mass outcry erupted in the capital city of Skopje when independent media sources alleged that authorities intervened in the girl's case because they wanted to showcase the child as the new medical center's first successful case. | Tao anatin'ireo karazana hetsi-panoherana ny fandaniam-bola-panjakana sy ny kolikoly, nisy fahatezerana lehibe nipoaka tao an-tanànan'i Skopje renivohitra, raha nilaza ireo loharanon'ny media tsy miankina fa niditra tamin'ny trangan'ilay ankizy vavikely ireo manampahefana satria te-hampiseho ilay ankizy ho fahombiazana voalohan'ilay Toeram-pitaboana izy ireo. |
13 | “So she died waiting, died for their PR,” said Filip Stojanovski, a writer for Global Voices. | “Noho izany maty teo am-piandrasana izy, maty noho ny PR-ndry zareo,” hoy i Filip Stojanovski, mpanoratra ho an'i Global Voices. |
14 | The decision was made by committee and signed by the committee's deputy head, Aspazija Sofijanova, who admitted in recent testimony that she had done so against her professional judgement because she was told “from above.” | Nataon'ny kaomity ary nosoniavin'ny lefitry ny filohan'ny kaomity, Aspazija Sofijanova, izay niaiky tamin'ny fijoroana vavolombelona vao haingana, fa nanao izany mifanohitra amin'ny fanapahan-keviny amin'ny maha-matihanina azy izy, satria nobaikoin'ny “avy any ambony“. |
15 | Sofijanova is a highly politicized figure who state-affiliated media routinely depict as a humanitarian who supports ruling politicians whenever possible. | Olona ampiasaina be amin'ny politka i Sofijanova, izay lazain'ny media mifandray amin'ny fanjakana matetika ho toy ny mpiaro ny maha-olona manohana hatrany ireo mpanao politika eo amin'ny fitondràna raha mbola azo atao. |
16 | Biljana Nikolovska, a journalist who has covered the case from the beginning, commented on Facebook a few days after Tamara died about all that she had observed: | Andro vitsivitsy taorian'ny nahafatesan'i Tamara, naneho hevitra tao amin'ny Facebook-ny momba ireo zavatra rehetra tsikariny i Biljana Nikolovska, mpanao gazety izay nitatitra hatrany am-boalohany ilay raharaha : |
17 | I research, I talk to physicians and I get the information that the Spinal Center for Scoliosis is in the works and should be opened in two months. | Nikaroka aho, niresaka tamin'ireo fizisiana ary nahazo loharanombaovao fa efa ao anatin'ny asa ny fanamboarana ny Toeram-pitsaboana Hazondamosina tratry ny Scoliosis ary tokony hisokatra ato anatin'ny roa volana. |
18 | I tell myself is it possible that this is the reason for delaying Tamara's surgery. | Niteny ho an'ny tenako aho hoe dia ho izany ve no antony nanemorana ny fandidiana an'i Tamara. |
19 | Do they keep her under wraps in order to have another photo op? | Notànan-dry zareo ve izy mba hahazoana sary “op” hafa? |
20 | Medical doctors tell me that they have expert colleagues in the country, for whom such an operation would be easy, a “piece of cake.” | Nilaza ahy ireo mpitsabo fa manana manampahaizana mpiara-miasa ao amin'ny firenena, izay mahavita mora ny fandidiana toy io, ohatra ny “singanà mofomamy.” |
21 | Why, then, the opinion of the Consilium [committee] stating the opposite? | Nahoana ary, ny hevitry ny Mpanolo-kevitra [kaomity] no milaza ny mifanohitra amin'izany? |
22 | I publish everything, but can't get official statements from anybody. | Nandefa ny zavatra rehetra aho, fa tsy mety mahazo fanambaràna ofisialy na avy amin'iza na avy amin'iza. |
23 | Shortly before her daughter's death, Zhaklina Dimovska was reported to have approached the Prime Minster Nikola Gruevski and personally begged for his mercy to obtain approval for the surgery. | Talohakelin'ny nahafatesan'ny zanany vavy, nolazaina fa nanatona mivantana ny Praiminisitra Nikola Gruevski i Zhaklina Dimovska, ary niangavy fatratra ny fiantràny mba hahazo ny fanekena ny fandidiana. |
24 | An administrative letter dated February 6 approving the operation was not sent until February 11, two days after Tamara died. | Nisy taratasy avy amin'ny sampan-draharaham-panjakana, nitondra ny datin'ny 6 Febroary, nanaiky ny fandidiana, tsy mbola nalefa hatramin'ny ny 11 Febroary, roa andro taorian'ny nahafatesan'i Tamara. |
25 | The letter, pictured below, contained no expression of condolence. | Tsy ahitana fanehoana fiaraha-miory mihitsy ilay taratasy, aseho an-tsary eto ambany. |

28 | Over the last two weeks, Macedonians have taken to social media using the hashtags #ОставкаЗаТодоров (resignation for Todorov) and #ТодорOFF (Todorov-OFF), calling for the resignation of Health Minister Nikola Todorov, who had promised Tamara's family in November 2014 that the government would pay for her surgery. | Tao anatin'izay roa herinandro lasa izay, nandray ny media sosialy ireo Makedoniana, tamin'ny fampiasaina ireo tenifototra #ОставкаЗаТодоров (fametraham-pialan'i Todorov) sy ny #ТодорOFF (Todorov-MIALA), miantso ny fametraham-pialan'ny Minisitry ny Fahasalamana Nikola Todorov, izay nampanantena ny fianakavian'i Tamara, tamin'ny Novambra 2014 fa ny governemanta no handoa ny lany amin'ny fandidiana azy. |
29 | Over 18,000 people have lent their support to the campaign, led by the family and media personality Ognen Janeski. | Olona maherin'ny 18.000 no nitondra ny fanohanany tamin'ilay hetsika izay nataon'ny fianakaviana sy ny media Ognen Janeski. |
30 | On February 19, a small group of people wearing blank masks, as a symbol of the faceless heartlessness of institutions, protested in front of the Ministry of Health. | Ny 19 Febroary, nisy vondron'olona vitsy nanao sarontava fotsy, ho endriky ny faharatsian-toetra tsy misy endriny an'ireo andrim-panjakana, nanao hetsi-panoherana nanoloana ny Ministeran'ny Fahasalamana. |
31 | Organized by the civic platform AJDE!, the demonstration demanded resignations from the health minister, committee members, and health insurance fund managers and board members. | Hetsika nokarakarain'ny sehatra olom-pirenena AJDE!, nitaky ny fametraham-pialan'ny minisitry ny fahasalamana, ireo mpikambana amin'ny kaomity, ny mpitantana ny tahirimbola ho an'ny fiarovana ny fahasalamana ary ny mpikambana amin'ny filankevitra. |
32 | A few days later, thousands of people led by Janevski and Tamara's mother gathered in front of the health insurance fund and marched through the main streets of Skopje to the Ministry of Health. | Andro vitsy taorian'izay, olona an'arivony notarihan'i Janevski sy ny renin'i Tamara, no nifamory nanoloana ny tahirimbola ho fiarovana ny fahasalamana ary nanao diabe tamin'ny lalamben'i Skopje nankany amin'ny Ministeran'ny Fahasalamana. |
33 | No medical professionals involved in the case have faced prosecution as of yet. | Tsy nisy mpiasan'ny fahasalamana voarohirohy tamin'ilay raharaha aloha niatrika fitoriana hatreto. |
34 | In light of public protests, two public health insurance fund officials resigned. | Noho ireo hetsi-panoheran'ny vahoaka, mpiasam-panjakana roa misahana ny tahirimbola fiarovana ny fahasalamam-bahoaka no nametra-pialana. |
35 | The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights has filed charges against Todorov for abuse of power and authority in the case, but it's unclear if the public prosecutor will act on them. | Nitory an'i Torodov ny Kaomity Helsinki ho an'ny Zon'olombelona, noho ny fanararaotam-pahefana tamin'ilay raharaha, fa tsy mazava tsara raha handray fepetra amin'izany ny mpampanoa lalànam-panjakana. |
36 | Todorov has defended himself, saying he did everything he could “and even more than that” to approve the funds for Tamara's surgery. | Niaro ny tenany samirery i Todorov, nilaza fa efa nanao ny zavatra rehetra azony natao izy “na mihoatra noho izany mihitsy aza” mba hanekena ny fanampiana ara-bola ho an'ny fandidiana an'i Tamara. |
37 | In a separate interview on state TV, he referred to the girl's death as an unfortunate event that overshadows his reforms to the country's healthcare system. | Taminà tafatafa tao amin'ny TV an'ny fanjakana, nilaza ny fahafatesan'ilay zazavavy ho zava-nitranga mampalahelo izay manakona ny fanovàna entiny ho amin'ny fomba fitantanana ny fahasalamana eo amin'ny firenena izy. |
38 | On February 21, he announced that the government will be hiring 2,000 new medical personnel - 700 doctors and nurses, and the rest janitors and other technical staff. | Ny 21 Febroary, nanambara izy fa hampiditra mpiasan'ny fahasalamana vaovao miisa 2.000 ny governemanta - mpitsabo sy mpitsabo mpanampy miisa 700, ary mpiambina toerana fialàna sasatra sy mpikirakira ny lafiny ara-teknika. |
39 | Conversations on social networks and coverage in the country's small but fierce independent media today provide ample evidence of the need for greater accountability among public officials in the country. | Nanome porofo ampy tsara ny amin'ny tokony hampandraisana andraikitra misimisy kokoa ireo mpiasam-panjakana ankehitriny ireo resadresaka tao amin'ny tambazotra sosialy sy ny tatitra ao amin'ny media tsy miankina izay kely fa tena matanjaka tokoa. |
40 | Between public outcry over economic reforms and unemployment - which is the highest in Europe, at 30% - and the case of Tamara Dimovska, it seems that Macedonia may soon reach a boiling point. | Tao anatin'ny kiakiakin'ny vahoaka amin'ny fanovàna ara-toekarena sy ny tsy fananana asa - izay ambony indrindra any Eorôpa, amin'ny tahany 30% - ary ny raharaha Tamara Dimovska, toa hita ho tratran'i Makedonia ato ho ato ny maripàna ambony indrindra. |
