VoxNews has clarified the investigative file regarding the scandal at the QSUT, where doctors and employees of the Oncology Hospital of Tirana abused their duties, creating difficulties for patients affected by cancer.

In the file provided by VoxNews , violations committed by doctors and employees, who directed patients to private clinics and hospitals, are documented.

It also documents how the drugs were taken and who was responsible for the fraud scheme.

"On the part of the specialists of the Section for Economic and Financial Crime, information was received on the operative route that the citizen Devis Beqiri was dealing with the trade and distribution of drugs, which are contraband. These drugs come mainly from Italy and Greece, but there are also Turkish drugs that pass through various customs points," the file explains.

So, it is said that from the information obtained during the operation, it has been found that the employees of this department, where the chief nurse of the ward has the main role, as they receive the complete programs for the cure of a patient and this medication is provided by the state, since each patient of chemotherapy is registered in the database, they do not leave the entire cure for treatment, but a part of this cure is taken out to be bought outside the hospital, specifically at two pharmacies in Tirana.

"A medication for chemotherapy is more expensive and the bottle ranges from 250 euros to 1500 euros. Except for the case when the chemotherapy drug is extracted and sold outside the hospital premises, which is not allowed in the legislation, and there are other cases when inside the hospital pharmacy, known by the staff as 'Kapa', where the chemotherapy drugs are mixed, anyone can go a relative of a chemotherapy patient or an internal employee and against a monetary sum could withdraw the medication, even though it is not his turn for treatment, but another person is on the waiting list", the file further explains.
