Prosecutors in Kosovo charged 64 people including a government minister and 44 doctors with taking bribes to refer patients with heart problems – some of them already dead – to private clinics, the office of the state prosecutor said on Wednesday. This is the biggest bribery investigation in the health sector since Kosovo became independent from Serbia in 2008. “Some doctors received up to 500 euros in bribes from these (private) hospitals to refer a patient to put in a stent,” the prosecutor’s office said in a statement. http://www.euronews.com/newswires/3207552-kosovo-doctors-accused-of-bribery-over-referrals-for-dead-patients/
