QKUUKA director with multiple scandals, now adviser to Minister Ura Ismaili

Nijazi Gashi, who was director of KKUKU, has returned to a high position in the public health system. He has been appointed senior adviser to Health Minister Uran Ismaili, who, with taking over the new post, had promised to overhaul the health system in Kosovo, writes Koha Ditore, Pryscopi succeeds.

CKUK's Paddy in his time as director became part of the major scandals that occur in that institution. It was appointed director in September 2011, and was later replaced by Curr Gjocaj in June 2014.

While Gashi was director in 2012, the biggest scandal in the health sector had erupted, which involved taking bribes from cardiologists to refer to heart patients. The State Prosecutor's investigation has revealed that doctors were paid for the reference of each patient from 500 euros. There were those who overnight earned up to 3,500 euros in bribes. In addition, the investigation has highlighted the language of health professionals to patients seeking treatment. They were called ʹfakira's.

During his management, the QKUKUE faced a severe lack of drugs and relief material. Plannings made by this center were more fulfilling the appetites of pharmaceutical companies than the need for patients.

Tens of thousands of euros in radiological film purchases had expired, due to ill-planning. Tens of thousands of euros of product purchase Macrogoal had ended up in waste because KKUKUE ordered this product in far greater quantities than real needs. The purchase of an antibiotic that is not on the essential list was contracted during his leadership. The antibiotik Ceftiaaxone) costing one euro had been replaced with a product with a similar effect Cefepime) outside the Escial List, but costing 12 euros.

The clock had also reported on the purchase of three very expensive products that none of the clinics had asked for or used. Bosentan Fingholimodus and é daptomycin was contracted at a much higher price without asking for them.

Since the QKUKUE bought unneeded luxury products without control, the supply of cytostatics (the cancer treatment barrier) never exceeded 40 percent. This low supply rate was not due to lack of public means, but because KKUKUE was abusing the purchase of cytostatics.

And the newspaper in a long research had come to confirm that the same products that were purchased by the KKUUK were stolen at the CKUK's Oncology Clinic to be sold in private drugs. From a private drug store, products with red banners known as products purchased from the state budget were already sold to patients at a tremendous price. A few months after that mass theft of albums has been discovered by a health worker.

While QKUKUA was facing major drug crises, Gashi decided to invest in his personal luxury. He bought a car worth about 59 thousand euros, which his successor, Curr Gjocaj, now uses.

Minister Ismaili's senior adviser, who was already the director, had made great pledges to KKUK's Cardiology. Through a media conference, he had invited patients not to go to private hospital on the nights, since he considered that the KKUKUE service is more professional. But just three weeks after this message, Gashi himself had an acute heart attack. The stables had been placed at the Turkish Heart Hospital, which was then under the pipe of investigation for allegations it had bribed public system doctors in order to refer patients to this clinic.
