The chief physician of Mykolaiv's MSEC has purchased new apartments in Odesa. The total cost of these apartments reaches 300 thousand dollars.
This was reported by Nikcenter.
Vira Belyakova, the chief physician of the regional center for medical and social expertise of the Mykolaiv Regional Council, and her son purchased four apartments in new buildings in Odesa during the full-scale war.
In late October, law enforcement officers searched the homes of Vira B elyakova and her son as part of an investigation into a mobilization evasion scheme. During the searches, they found more than $450,000 in cash, jewelry and three undeclared apartments registered to her son, Oleksiy Maksymenko, an intern at the medical university. Most of the cash and jewelry were also found in her son's apartment, where a Russian passport was found.
Since the summer of 2022, Belyakova and her son have owned four apartments in Odesa. One of them, a one-room apartment on Lustdorfska Road, Belyakova included in her declaration, indicating the value of UAH 1.3 million. However, according to her declaration for 2022, the official had no such savings, as her annual income was just over half a million hryvnias.
In addition, they both received the second group of disability, which allowed them to receive additional benefits and social payments from the state.
Three other apartments were registered in the name of Belyakova's son and were not listed in her declaration. The cost of the new apartments, located in the residential complexes 51 Perlyna, Graf and Nahirny, is estimated at between 80 and 90 thousand dollars each.
At the end of October, the State Bureau of Investigation reported the exposure of an organized group of doctors who helped healthy men of military age obtain medical documents that allowed the medical and social expert commission to declare them unfit for service.
The government has ruthlessly approved a plan to combat corruption among medical and social expert commissions. The Ministry of Health also presented a draft law to change the process of health assessment and disability determination. The Ministry of Health also presented a draft law on changing the process of assessing functionality, determining disability and liquidating the MSEC. The draft was submitted for public discussion and discussed with experts.
In November, Ukraine launched a reform of medical and social expertise aimed at eliminating the old bureaucratic system and introducing a new, more efficient mechanism focused on human needs.
