Oncological patients in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina are fighting on two fronts – that with the wicked disease and the one with those in power, which instead of working in their interest, they make everyone in order to make their lives even more unbearable.
And so for years!
Instead of beginning to start respecting valid laws, they, in this case, the FBiH government, makes everything the hardest patients twist in black and pushes into the ambis from which most of them will not come out.
Identified irregularities
Confirmation is the latest Report of the Office for the Audit of the Institutions of the Budget by 2024. The Federal Government shall not act in accordance with Article 82. 223,211,183 marks.
This procedure for the Federal Government The most severe category of our society – oncological patients, who are waiting for the prescribed therapies that literally the lives – were damaged for more than 160 million KM for more than 160 million KM.
So, 160 million KM only for last year.
In the past three years, the Federal Government denied the letter and the number of solidarity fund nearly 460 million marks, says Dževad Nekić, former Chief Federal Auditor.
– In recent years, the irregularities of money allocation for the Solidarity Fund is found in the last years when it comes to the audit on the execution of the FBiH budget. In 2022. based on the health insurance contribution, 170 million KM was collected, and solidarity fund was given only 28 million marks. The situation is such that in the last few years, the collection of contributions on health insurance has been drastically increased, and we have a trend to increase the obligations under solidarity foda. Thus, in 2022. Solidarity Fund paid149 million KM, 2023. 152, and 2024. 163 million marks less. Thus, the 460 million KM went to some other expenditures, and not for what is the law provided – explained by some.
On their own and dear God, they suffer from malignant diseases and their families every day trying through the Association of Help.Bs. Collect two brands for a remedy to extend them life.
Many, in that struggle, that another month stay with their children, parents, spouses, lose battle!
And they are not just the lives of oncological patients threatened by the fact that the Federal Government does not implement the law. All those who are in danger on the streets, through help.ba, the appeals published by the media, collect two KM for various types of operational procedures in Turkey, European Union countries.
– So you take the debt in three previous years, which is 460 million KM. Imagine how cured or those who would have the opportunity to be treated. However, these dedicated funds went for some other things. If the law prescribes that these funds should be paid into the Solidarity Fund, then the responsibility on those who violate it – emphasizes by some.
Is there criminal responsibilities
We also asked whether the criminal liability of the Federal Government in all this is that, according to the data from the Association, a week one from the waiting list on therapy, dies?
– All audit reports are public. Do you look at the last you will see that it is clearly stated that it is not done in accordance with the law. Any violation of the law, if you enable yourself or the other acquisition of certain benefits, when it comes to criminal law, is a criminal offense. Thus, dozensions of millions are not directed where they were supposed to, but to some other spending – some.
Recall, in Article 82. The FBiH Health Insurance Law states that “the Government of the FBiH, for each calendar year, determines the percentage of mandatory health insurance in the Solidarity Fund, which is required to inform the Federation Parliament within 15 days from the date of decision.”
As followed in Article 82. “The same amount of funds will be provided from the FBiH budget.”
This means that “the Federal Government is obliged to pay the same amount of funds that collects and paid on the basis of contributions for mandatory health insurance”.
But the federal government does not. Instead, she brags how he has increased allocations this year.
– They increased allocations, but they increase the debt to the Solidarity Fund from year to year. The Federal Government should not be bragged as increased by allocations for the Solidarity Fund, it should be carried out by the law, but it does not – conclude Njever.
Let us also add that neither previous governments have respected the law, so since the establishment of the Solidarity Fund in 2002. Years of the Federal Government, according to the Validability Fund, is close to two billion KM, writes Factor.
