Quorum lack unable to pass resolution on oncological drugs

63 MPs participated in the vote. Of them, 42 voted in favour of the resolution, while two abstained. However, the number of votes was not enough for its approval.

The resolution was proposed by Democratic Party of Kosovo MP ( Sala Yasar, PDK. Through it, it demanded that the Ministry of Health and Hospital Service and the University Clinic of Kosovo ( SHSKUK) should immediately take the necessary legal and administrative measures to ensure continued supply of essential drugs and to avoid cut-off therapies due to their lack.

Under the proposal, the Health Ministry would have to present a detailed report for the January 1st October 22nd October 2026, within 15 days of adoption of the resolution. The report would include the list of oncological drugs that have been missing, the duration of shortages, the number of affected patients, the reasons for shortages, and the state of procurement procedures.

The resolution also envisions creating an early warning mechanism and determining a minimal reserve stock for critical oncological drugs. Through this mechanism, institutional responsibilities and deadlines for launching supply procedures would be determined before the stock reached the critical level.
