Scandal at the Oncologist/ Berisha: The most corrupt health system on the planet

The head of the DP, Sali Berisha

The head of the DP, Sali Berisha, has once again brought to attention the scandal at the Oncologist, through an editorial by the journalist Klodian Tomori.

According to Berisha, the journalist's writing represents the most terrible drama taking place in the Health system in Albania as a result of the corrupt Rama-Beqaj-Manstirliu system.

Berisha writes that thousands of people die every year from this inhumane system in Albania.

The head of the DP emphasizes that in the free advertised Health system, every Albanian pays out of pocket over 60% of the expenses for his health care.

According to the former prime minister, what we have heard and read these days about the Oncology hospital is the tip of the iceberg of the murderous and most corrupt health system on the planet.

"The architects of the Death Stock are in the government and the Ministry of Health!"

Dear friends, the well-known journalist and publicist Klodian Tomorri, with this title of his editorial, thought that it presents the most truthfully the terrible drama that takes place in the health system in Albania as a result of the corrupt Rama-Beqaj-Mansterliu system. Thousands and thousands of people die every year from this inhumane system in Albania. Thus, about 20 thousand citizens have died from Covid 19 in Albania, or 2 times more than in Kosovo and North Macedonia, thousands of sick people are deprived of surgical interventions every year because hospitals cannot pay the Rama-Beqja company for sterilizing surgical sets. thousands more die because their medicine is fake. In the free advertised health system, every Albanian pays out of pocket over 60% of the expenses for his health care. What you have heard and read these days about the cancer hospital is the tip of the iceberg of the most murderous and corrupt health system on the planet.

I invite you to read the editorial published in Kapital. al by the well-known journalist Klodian Tomorri

The architects of the Death Stock are in the government and the Ministry of Health

When Nikolai Gogol wrote the novel "Dead Souls", he revealed a paradox to the world. The dead are a commodity and you can make money with them. But for this to happen there is an essential condition. It must be that the authorities are deeply corrupt and that the country is governed by officials who have no soul.

In Chichikov's life, this was a common background. But as we saw the other day, business with death is also done in Edi Rama's Albania, two centuries later.

While all the public revulsion has been poured out on the cheeky doctors put on bail by the Court, they are not the architects of the stock market of death. The people who set up this scheme are in the government and in the Ministry of Health, they are the officials to whom Albanians have entrusted their lives. These are the real scammers who want to make money out of death.

How can the Ministry of Health license a clinic for oncology services, when its owner with 90 percent of the shares is the doctor who serves as an oncologist in the public hospital? Megis is the private business of the oncologist of the public hospital Edmond Gashi. And as the Minister of Health reacted by saying that she was disgusted by the actions of the doctors, she should have at least yesterday expressed her disgust with the ministry that she leads, which has licensed Gashi to do business with death.

How can state medicines be stolen to be sold on the private market? Can this happen without the involvement of the leaders of QSUT, the internal audit at the University Hospital and control units at the Ministry of Health? No, it can't happen anyway. And this is another reason why Mrs. Koçiu should have been disgusted with her ministration in the first place.

Could there be a chemotherapy drug market if the state would responsibly procure all the necessary amount of drugs needed by patients? No, it could never exist. This market exists because the state does not procure the necessary quantity. Because the money gets the criminal concessions of the threshing floor analysis. This was the third reason why the Minister of Health should be disgusted with her ministry and the government she is a part of.

So corruption does not start with the doctor, but ends with him. The doctor is simply the last link that highlights the problem. Corruption is conceived and started in the government. The insufficiency of medicines, the way they are accessed by the patient and above all the mismanagement of the health service funding flow.

First, all oncology drugs should be 100% financed by the state. In public or in private it doesn't matter. These medications, like all over the world, should be applied only in genuine hospitals, which meet the conditions and are under strict state monitoring. Not in every clinic, which is built in every corner of the building in the neighborhoods of Tirana.

Oncology drugs are all imported drugs and their control is very simple. These medicines have a serial number assigned to the barcode and are administered with a special hospital prescription. This barcode together with the prescription is stored in the patient's file and a copy is sent to the Health Care Fund as the funder of the therapy. So their entire supply chain can be traced very easily; how much was imported and how much was used, where it was used and where it was paid for.

The state has all the control mechanisms to prevent what happened. But in every link that fails, there is an official who becomes corrupt, just like in Russia of the 19th century. Therefore, the architects of the trade of death are not the Gashes fattened by the money of the mortuary or the ugly Alketeras by the sins of Hell. The main ones responsible are the heartless poshlostos in the government. Those who make client lists of medicines and who divert health funds to their businesses", writes Berisha./ CNA
