DEnunciation: Albana Fico's e-mails about the transfer of expired medicines

Albana Vokshi

The deputy of the Democratic Party, Albana Vokshi from the blue seat, denounced that the former director of the QSUT, Albana Fico, gave directives through e-mails that the drug FEIBA, which had expired, be transferred to the pediatric oncohematology service.

According to her, it is about a quantity of 1137 vials of the drug FEIBA, which is used for patients with hemophilia.

"They are the ones who, in communications with each other, give orders to the director of IT Rigers Haxhiraj. Albana Fico, in an email after 11:00 p.m., orders Rigers to intervene in the system after 4:00 p.m., when the pharmacy is closed and the staff is not there, to remove the expiration date and the next day, March 8, to transfer this medication from the central pharmacy to the oncohematology pavilion", she says, among other things.

Full statement:

In the last statement I made from this pulpit, among other denunciations, I also made a denunciation regarding the intervention in the online pharmacy system of QSUT, to temporarily delete the expiration date of a medication.

It is about a quantity of 1137 vials of FEIBA medication used for patients with hemophilia. This amount of this medication had an expiration date of December 31, 2023. In total value, the remaining expired amount of FEIBA medication is about 1.35 million EURO.

The scandal lies in the fact that by order of the former director of QSUT Albana Fico, through a Memo No. 126/65 dated 29.12.2023, directives of the head of the Albana Fico institution were given for this remaining amount of FEIBA drug to be transferred to the Pediatric Oncohematology service.

How could this be done?

Only with the intervention in the system by the IT director at QSUT who deleted the expiration date.

When I raised it as a concern in the hearing we organized in the Health Commission on the oncology scandal, the Minister of Health Koçiu, the Director of QSUT and the Central Pharmacy of QSUT denied the fact, while the SP MPs again sided with the scandal instead of to stand by the patient's side and protect their life and health.

On the monitor I have the exchange of emails between the former director of QSUT Albana Ficos; Mirela Rexhepi, director of the Central Pharmacy; Eneida Balla, deputy director of the pharmacy, IT Director Rigers Haxhiraj, and Anisa Serjani.

They are the ones who, in communications with each other, give orders to the director of IT Rigers Haxhiraj. Albana Fico, in an email after 11:00 p.m., orders Rigers to intervene in the system after 4:00 p.m., when the pharmacy is closed and the staff is not present, to remove the expiration date and the next day, i.e. March 8 to transfer this medication from the central pharmacy to the oncohematology ward.

From the emails it can be seen that pressure is exerted on the IT manager to take urgent measures because almost 3 months had passed since the order of the former director Albana Fico.

In the last tables, the balance of 1137 vials is given, in the amount of 1.35 million Euros, expiry date 31.12.2023.

The intervention made on March 7, 2024 is clearly visible.

The questions I will repeat today are:

• What prompted Albana Fico, former director of QSUT, to seek intervention in the system

• Why was there more insistence, to remove the expiration date, that is, to manipulate the system and make the transition to the pediatric pharmacy? When the system, which is very good, does not allow it?

When the medicine expires, it turns red and no other action can be taken with that medicine. The move can only be made by manipulating the system and removing the expiration date;

This medicine is still in the central pharmacy. Although in the last correspondence received from the Directorate of QSUT I was told that there is no amount of expired FEIBE in the Central Pharmacy of QSUT.

This is a very big scandal. The Parliament was deceived, the members of the Parliament were deceived.

Who is the reason that the Parliament is deceived? What is the reason that deputies are deceived by violating the constitution and the law, because this way one of the main functions of the Parliament, which is the control over the executive, is hindered.

Minister Koçiu and the Director of QSUT should immediately resign and leave as they have not only failed to ensure a constitutional right to health services, not only have they failed to provide the infrastructure, drugs, medications, cures and therapies for patients, but also have allowed the manipulation of the pharmacy's online system and the circulation of expired medications from the central pharmacy to pediatrics, not even sparing the children.

Today is the time for every patient, every family member, every relative to react, for the constitutional right to health care.

To react to protect health

To protect life, not to leave it in the hands of criminal abusers who do not spare adults and children.

Until they stop in their fatherhood, we must stop!/ CNA
