# Albanian hemodialysis concession corruption allegations > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/albanian-hemodialysis-concession-corruption-allegations > Updated: 2026-08-28T12:01:53.000Z. Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Opposition members of the Albanian Democratic Party have raised allegations of corruption and clientelism regarding the management of the country’s hemodialysis concessions. Initially, Deputy Bardh Spahia cited findings from the Supreme State Audit to argue that the current centralized 10-year contract model under Prime Minister Edi Rama’s administration has replaced a competitive, decentralized system with a costly scheme. Spahia alleged that payments were made for uncompleted services and questioned why the winning tender was 11.1% higher than the lowest bid. Subsequent allegations from the Democratic Party expanded on these claims, citing reports from the Supreme State Control. The party alleges that Klodian Allajbeu, owner of the American Hospital and Hygeia networks, has benefited approximately 150 million euros through the Dia Vita company over a six-year period. Data from 2022 suggests that 94.4% of total hemodialysis sessions were handled by private entities and associated public-private partnerships, rather than public hospitals. The opposition further claims the tender lacked competition and alleges violations such as the “fictitious inflation of session numbers” and the refusal of service to patients with acute illnesses. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-28: Albania: Allegations of 150 million euro hemodialysis concession misuse The Democratic Party of Albania alleges that Klodian Allajbeu’s private networks earned 150 million euros from hemodialysis concessions over six years, citing Supreme State Control findings. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/albania-allegations-of-150-million-euro-hemodialysis-concession-misuse ### 2026-08-14: Bardh Spahia alleges clientelism in Albania's hemodialysis concession Democratic Party deputy Bardh Spahia has accused the Albanian government of clientelism regarding a hemodialysis concession, citing audit findings of payments for uncompleted services. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bardh-spahia-alleges-clientelism-in-albanias-hemodialysis-concession --- Cite as: Albanian hemodialysis concession corruption allegations.
