The show "Në Shënjestre" by journalist Klodiana Lala dealt with the scandal at the Oncology hospital in QSUNT, while in the following part, details on how the scheme was set up that patients were directed by doctors to private clinics are clarified. The complaint that referred to the investigation file also came from a citizen from Burreli who had appeared at the Oncology Pavilion to visit his mother who was suspected of having a tumor disease.
But the cobalt apparatus was not the only problem that was discovered in the Oncology Pavilion at QSUNT.
The investigations also concluded in a scheme of how oncologists in this ward sent patients to their private clinics, after they presented themselves to receive service in this ward.
The complaint that referred to the investigation file also came from a citizen from Burreli who had appeared at the Oncology Pavilion to visit his mother who was suspected of having a tumor disease.
Investigation file
M.Xh says that he first sent his mother to the Burrel hospital. But after it was suspected that she was affected by cancer, he brought her to Tirana.
But he says that while they were waiting at the door of the Oncology Clinic, he was approached by a person who told him that if they wanted help, he could send them to a doctor. The person in question was later identified as E. L, coordinator of the Oncology Hospital in Tirana.
That he sent him for a visit to doctor E. G, who, according to the citizen, after performing a superficial check on his mother, showed him that the condition is alarming
And that an operation had to be done urgently.
Further, the citizen M.XH said that the doctor E.G told him that in the future the visits would be made at his "Megis" clinic as there were delays in the hospital, and the work was not waiting.
Furthermore, this same citizen showed that after he had gone to this clinic, his mother had undergone a biopsy.
And that only a month later he received the answer, that the mother had to be operated.
The operation which seems to have gone well.
But the patient needed chemotherapy.
Medicines that the family had to provide at the clinic where the surgery was performed or at the pharmacy.
Investigation File
A month later, the whistleblower says he was called by the coordinator of the E. L Oncology hospital, who informed him that the biopsy results had come out and that the mother should come for the operation.
"E. L told me on the phone that the payment was 3 thousand euros. but since he recommended them, they would pay 2,500 euros.
When we went to the hospital, we paid 2,700 euros, after hospital expenses were added.
After mom was operated on, and the doctor told us the biopsy came out fine and it wasn't a bad tumor, we were sent to a doctor inside the clinic who told me she should do chemo.
Another story seems to begin here. How medicines for cancer patients are sold and bought freely in private clinics and pharmacies, outside the pharmaceutical warehouse of QSUNT.
Investigation File
The citizen says that he first bought the medicine (femara 2.5) for chemotherapy at the pharmacy located at the clinic, and then at another clinic.
In relation to the practice of registration at the QSUT and the discharge form from the hospital, he stated that they no longer received the file, as he went to private and there the procedure was confused.
According to the investigation file, doctor E. G did not tell patients that in his private hospital only scans, biopsies are done and for chemotherapy and radiation they have to go back to the state hospital.
As well as the fact that he takes the patients' cards and keeps them in his office, when the rule clearly states that he should leave them at the point of the Oncology Hospital.
Meanwhile, in an interception, the doctors of the oncology ward also speak on his behalf.
Doing the math.
Investigation File
Conversation between hospital staff.
Person X: Grab Mondi, take out the money, tell me!
Dr. AR answers: With the tip of his finger, he throws me away. It's like a bulldozer!
Person X: Catch the other holidays now. See us Thailand. It doesn't cost much, 1500 euros, 5 surgeries within a week.
Dr. AR: 'Surgeon, you know me. Where did you do your math bro? 5×5 how much do they do?
Person X: I calculated 300 euros for the operation, not 500. For a week, you go to the Maldives then.
But is this only a problem of some doctors or of a rotten system from the beginning that has produced in these 30 years only corruption and extortion for citizens?
Why is the Ministry of Health not involved in this investigation today, which has the duty to make continuous checks in public hospitals, or even endless sectors that are paid to do their work?
Where did the internal audits in hospitals end and what is the role of the medical equipment control sector, when it has been known for years that the equipment at QSUNT is not put into operation?
Can one, two, or three such doctors, no matter how powerful they are, stop medical devices from operating, or single-handedly produce an entire scheme of sending patients from public to private hospitals???/ BW
