The Mandatory Health Insurance Fund has revoked the right to market reimbursable medicines from the company CFO Pharma. According to the Fund's decision, the company CFO Pharma is no longer allowed to market reimbursable medicines, but can continue selling medicines on the free market.
The decision taken last week comes after the scandal with fictitious reimbursements, which was denounced by the Italian company Chiesi and its subcontractor company in Albania, Medicamenta. The latter filed a criminal complaint with the Tirana prosecutor's office against CFO Pharma, owned by Nadir Çausholli, for fraud and fictitious reimbursements with two drugs, which are used to treat asthma.
The scandal initially reported by Kapital was confirmed by the prosecution's investigation. Two weeks ago, the Tirana prosecution ordered searches at the premises of CFO Pharma and two other companies, suspected of being its satellites, which the prosecution suspects are involved in the fictitious reimbursement fraud scheme.
Meanwhile, parallel to the investigation by the Tirana Prosecutor's Office, there is another investigation by SPAK, where the former director of FSDKSH, Spartak Zekja, has been reported. The latter was reported to SPAK by the former director of control of the Fund, as being involved in the issue of fictitious reimbursements.
A month ago, Zekja was dismissed from the leadership of FSDKSH and Arti Papajani was appointed in his place. But the repeated scandal of fictitious reimbursements once again showed the barbaric greed, which stops at nothing, even stealing the disease.
So far, the Tirana Prosecutor's Office and SPAK have not issued any measures for this criminal scandal, the repetition of which raises strong suspicions about the involvement of state structures, not only in the Mandatory Health Care Insurance Fund, but also in the Ministry of Health.
Theft of medicine for the sick should be a red line, but repeated scandals show that both the Ministry of Health and the FSDKSH are two institutions rotten with corruption to the point that they even steal the disease.
