Alarming information on the use of stolen AMKA and codec doctors They have come to light, after the revelations of Mega’s Live News show. EOPYY sources are “photographing” police omissions and clarifying at iatropedia.gr that so far, no official report or complaint has reached the relevant services.
However, according to reports, the AMKA 72 -year -old insured by Thessaloniki have been prescribed to date … 200 boxes of Alprazolam (Xanax), from at least three different doctors in Thessaloniki, Trikala and Athenswhile the recipes were executed in 9 different pharmacies. The perpetrators have been recorded by security cameras.
It should be noted that in similar cases and where there is a possible stealing of AMKA and abusive prescription, the independent control direction of Control and Benefits – ADYPA (formerly a CFF), the Audit Corps, which is now subject to EOPYY.
“Police badly said unauthorized”
When the 72 -year -old from Thessaloniki addressed the police station in his area, asking for help to report the case, the answer he received was almost outrageous:
‘They told him’We do not deal with them”. They suggested that he go to a pharmacy to guide him there on how to make the complaint!“, Said his wife, who was obviously indignant, then contacted the Cybercrime Prosecution. But there they were referred there again … to the police station.
Police were the predominantly competent department who should have taken action, mobilizing the proceedings after the complaint, and even without any other intervention by the insured, an EOPYY official at iatropedia.gr reports.
«It is obvious that in this case, the police should not only record the incident, but also move immediately and inform EOPYY“, The same source from the organization said.
“When such a complaint arises, the procedure is simple: the police had to refer the issue to EOPYY and from there the procedures were initiated. And this is always the case, we have an excellent relationship with ELAS and they help us a lot, “she says.
The importance of electronic tracing
This case is considered to be particularly serious and is probably linked to drug trafficking circuits, as the formulation belongs to the anxiolytic drugs in Table D, which are only prescribed.
The case was immediately perceived, as through the system of intangible prescription and electronic recipe recipes, quickly detected the unusual Xanax prescription frequency in the same AMKA. These systems have been reinforced lately at HIDA control level. With handwritten recipes, fraud could have been unnoticed for a long time. However, more steps are required to take
The next steps
EOPYY, according to the same sources, has asked the Ministry of Health to introduce more stricter controls into the prescription process, with the aim of preventing similar incidents in the future.
The agenda is the integration of identification systems (such as the OTP code) to confirm the prescriptions to ensure the insured and the doctor’s identity during the prescription procedure.
EOPYY warns that co -operation with the police is critical to investigating such crimes and urges insured persons to report these incidents.
