Patients who have been subjected to kidney transplants and children with autoimmune diseases are facing a supply crisis, as Kosovo’s University Clinical Centre lacks pills Cyclosporine 25 mg and 50 mg, which are vital to the conservation of the transplanted organ.
Nazmi Hysni, who has been living with a donated kidney for 22 years after surviving the dial, shows that the 25 mg dose has been missing since May, while that of 50 mg has been missing recently. He adds that since the supply has been needed, it has never been sustainable.
Moreover, the situation becomes even more alarming, as patients not only owe themselves to buying these high-cost drugs, but often can’t even be found in the pharmaceutical market in Kosovo.
In the meantime, Hyseni has a prayer for QKUK, where at least to warn earlier about the lack of drugs as a result of their financial opportunities, because the interruption puts their lives at risk.
QKUK has confirmed the absence of immuno-supressive therapy for Kosovo as well as for Ciclosporine medicines of 25mg and 50mg, as well as Tacrolimus 0.5 mg, where it says they have a replacement of 1mg.
In fact, according to this, at October 16, 2026, the procurement procedure for Ciclosporine, 50 mg capsules has been initiated.
