In January 2023, the "Mother Teresa" University Hospital Center held a tender for dialysis equipment for the state ward where 36 patients are currently being treated.
The fund was 224 million ALL for 36 months. In the tender documents it is revealed that a treatment set is worth about 6 thousand 100 ALL.
Meanwhile, the company "DiaVita" has estimated the cost of each set at around 11,200 lek.
So, 45% more expensive. A report by the organization "Together for Life" estimated that this concession has benefited about 412 million ALL or about 3.5 million euros in payments from the state budget for sessions that were NOT carried out.
"Passing into the hands of the evidence in a normal situation would improve the quality, but the price would be possibly lower and lower for the same conditions", said the economic expert, Zef Preçi
For the PPP contract for the period 2016-2021, about 3.97 billion ALL have been liquidated from the state budget, while about 3.24 billion ALL remain to be paid for the remaining years.
For this service that costs taxpayers millions of euros every year, the continuous reports of the state's high control have revealed that the private sector has not been able to improve the quality of the service.
