Inquiry committee on oncology case to hold session in Parliament

Skopje, 10 October 2023 (MIA) - The Inquiry Committee on the Oncology Clinic case will hold a session in the Parliament on Tuesday, including testimonies by witnesses and experts, as well as a review of acts and documents related to the scandal.

Committee chair, VMRO-DPMNE MP Rashela Mizrahi, told TV24 yesterday that former health minister Bekim Sali and Minister of Interior Oliver Spasovski will be the first to give their testimonies, with a total of 44 witnesses to be called.

Minister Spasovski told MRT1 he expects all facts and arguments to be reaffirmed, based on which culpability will be established, since culprits always have a name. He added the evidence is there, with some still analyzed in the Public Prosecutor's Office because of their quantity.

The Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating the case following media allegations that the Oncology Clinic staff were withholding life-saving medical care from cancer patients and reselling cancer drugs.
