Cancer patients missed out on potentially life-saving treatment after healthcare workers sold their medications on the black market, it has been alleged.
Staff at a hospital in North Macedonia’s capital Skopje were blasted as ‘murderers’ during a demonstration outside the government quarters yesterday.
Attending were several people who said their relatives had died after being given placebos instead of proper chemotherapy because the drugs had been stolen.
‘My mother had breast cancer and her condition worsened a week after she was admitted to the clinic,’ one young man told the crowd.

‘Unfortunately, she did not survive.’
The man, who did not give his name, described the hospital’s alleged behavior as ‘monstrous’.
Protesters covered their hands in red paint, signifying that those responsible have blood on their hands.
Eggs were hurled at the government building, and the crowd called for the urgent resignation of North Macedonia’s health minister and the hospital management.

Placards read ‘Killers for profit’ and ‘How many more deaths?’.
The scandal broke earlier this year after CCTV footage emerged showing a nurse allegedly smuggling cancer drugs out of the oncology building. They were later arrested.
A pre-investigation procedure was finally opened almost four months later, after Focus first reported about misuse of cancer medications.
On Friday, police raided the hospital and the homes of two staff members, seizing documents, computers and data drives.

But no further arrests were made and no charges have been filed.
Health minister Fatmir Mexhiti and hospital director Violeta Klisarova stressed that ‘patients are safe and there is no manipulation with the therapy’.
Klisarova said that since the nurse’s arrest protocols have been revised and access to cancer drugs has been restricted.
Meanwhile, Mexhiti vowed to do ‘everything in my power to clear up this case’.
Their promises fell on deaf ears as the public’s trust in health officials continues to decline.
President Stevo Pendarovski described the claims as ‘shocking and discussing’, adding that it was ‘high time to end the culture of impunity for serious crimes.
He said in a statement: ‘It is high time that the system confirms we are capable of dealing with severe forms of organized crime and corruption, and of ending the culture of impunity for serious violations of the laws.’

Jonnie Irwin is taking on a major new project and has invited fans along to watch the process.
The TV star and father-of-three is a bit of a legend when it comes to property, having made his name on the likes of A Place In The Sun, The Renovation Game and Escape To The Country.
Jonnie, a father to three young kids, is currently going through a devastating terminal cancer diagnosis, saying last year that he could ‘have months to live,’ and has been offered love and support from fans ever since.
He keeps followers updated on his day-to-day life, from his health to his family to everything in between, via Instagram, and this week revealed he was tackling a major renovation.
Taking to the site, he shared a video of a crew working ont he front of a nondescript two-storey house, revealing it was taken on day one of renovating the front of the building.
Describing it as ‘not the prettiest of houses,’ Jonnie shared his vision of putting in differently-designed windows, ripping own the porch and moving the doorway to the centre of the house.

‘Doing so brings in a big room in the middle of the house. That makes it an entrance hall which is better to live in,’ the property expert explained.
He said it was ‘early days but pretty exciting.’
Alongside the video, Jonnie shared in the caption that he was ‘a couple of days late posting this but I promised to be honest with my posts about this renovation- warts n all.’
The TV star was praised by fans and followers for his ‘passion’ in taking on the massive project, with one saying his ‘ideas sound great…will look amazing.’
‘It’s going to be fabulous Jonnie, can’t wait to see the finished result,’ another said,’ while one declared: ‘Property is what you do best apart from being super dad of course.’
