- Source label: Unverified
FSDKSH controls failed in several ways at once: fictitious reimbursement, unperformed check-ups and unpunished oncology delays
The depot case alleges fictitious inventories billed to FSDKSH (Nov 2025). Vetting (Mar 2026) reports a Check-Up concession paying a fixed fee for about 475,000 checks while about 467,000 were performed in 2023, 49 documented cancer-drug delays since 2020 with about 49 million lekë penalties never collected, and ten directors in ten years. The common thread is weak verification before payment.
Evidence for
- Prosecution alleges fictitious inventories and invoices claimed as reimbursement, and that three fund employees did not physically check medicines (Shqiptarja, 2025).
- Vetting reports the fixed-fee Check-Up payment regardless of volume and weak contract monitoring (Vetting, 2026).
- Vetting reports 49 cancer-drug delays and penalties not collected.
Evidence against
- The depot case is an allegation under prosecution review; no verdict exists.
- The Check-Up and oncology problems are documented by Vetting and by an earlier KLSH finding, but no SPAK charge on them was found; these are separate matters that may not share a cause.
- Turnover of directors may reflect political change, not a single control failure.
