The Libyan Attorney General has ordered the detention of the financial officer at the Medical Supply Authority following investigations revealing the misappropriation of 1.5 billion dinars. These funds were intended for public and limited tenders, according to a statement released by the Attorney’s Office on Wednesday.

The statement highlighted that in 2023, the government allocated 4.5 billion dinars to manage financial aspects related to public and limited tenders and contracts for the supply of various medicines.

However, a prior report disclosed that 1.5 billion dinars were diverted from their intended purpose. This mismanagement disrupted public procurement processes and violated the right to the highest attainable standard of health.

The investigation found that the diverted funds were used to settle debts predating 2013, neglecting the urgent need for patient treatments during critical periods. This prompted the prosecutor to initiate legal proceedings against those managing the authority.

The detained official has been placed under provisional custody and referred to the indictment chamber.

Authorities have also issued orders to pursue others involved in the case.

This development underscores efforts to ensure accountability in Libya’s public health sector amidst persistent challenges in healthcare delivery.
