A computer tomograph was put into operation in the Mykolaiv Regional Children's Clinical Hospital.
The deputy head of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration Yurii Hranaturov told about this during a briefing on Tuesday, February 13, NikVesti reports.
According to him, the equipment has already been launched and its operation has been adjusted.
«A few days ago, the commissioning of a large and powerful state-of-the-art modular computer tomograph took place. We don't need to contact anyone anymore, we can work there,» said Yurii Hranaturov.
We will remind that in August of last year, a new computer tomograph Revolution Maxima based on artificial intelligence was delivered to the Mykolaiv Hospital №3 by order of the Ministry of Health. They emphasized that examinations on the new tomograph will be free of charge, however, only as prescribed by a doctor. The costs of servicing the equipment will be reimbursed by the National Health Service of Ukraine under the Medical Guarantee Program.
Inadequate condition of hospitals
We will remind that after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized the condition of the wards in the Mykolaiv Regional Children's Hospital, they started repairing the surgical department and installed air conditioners in eight wards.
After this incident, the head of Mykolayiv RMA Vitalii Kim drew attention to the low speed of work of the temporary commission of the regional council on the inspection of medical institutions. He also called on the residents of Mykolaiv to send complaints and suggestions regarding changes in the medical system to e-mail, so that these appeals will be considered by the appropriate group. After anonymous complaints, Vitalii Kim announced the dismissal of the chief doctors of the medical facilities if he became convinced of their incompetence.
Corruption in hospitals
For the second time, the head of RMA changed this situation a month later and once again announced personnel changes. The reason for this was a different situation in the medical field of the region: the law enforcement officers exposed a large-scale scheme of making money on evasions in the Mykolaiv regional mental hospital.
After that, the court ordered a preventive measure against the policeman who was responsible for searching for evaders. However, the suspicion and the selection of a preventive measure have not yet been served on the doctors who participated in the scheme of illegal earnings, in particular on the chief doctor Viktor Taran.
Reacting to this situation, the head of the Mykolayiv RMA for the medical field, Yurii Hranaturov, said that the exposed scheme in the regional mental health center is an isolated case in the medical field of the region. He believes that the RMA health care department is not responsible for the activities of the chief physician.
At the same time, Yurii Hranaturov announced that the SBI will conduct an additional inspection at the regional mental health center to find out whether other doctors are involved in the corrupt scheme of making money on evasion.
Later it became known that the acting director of the Mykolaiv Regional Center for Mental Health, Viktor Taran, who, according to the SBI, organized the scheme for the production of certificates for evaders, will remain in his post.
