Auditors uncovered financial irregularities totaling more than 6.7 million hryvnias at the Pivdenne City Hospital. Specifically, the hospital received 4.5 million hryvnias from the National Health Service of Ukraine for services for which it had not met all the necessary conditions.
The results of the audit were reported by the Pivdenne office of the State Audit Service.
According to the auditors, the hospital received funds for three packages of medical services under the medical guarantees program, even though it did not meet all the requirements of its contracts with the National Health Service of Ukraine (NSZU).
Specifically, the medical facility lacked the necessary equipment to perform mammograms, failed to procure endoprostheses for patient surgeries, and did not engage all the necessary specialists to treat patients requiring palliative care.
These violations resulted in losses to the state budget totaling 4.5 million hryvnias.
The State Audit Service reported the results of the audit to the facility’s founding body—the Pivdenne City Council.
The National Health Service of Ukraine (NHSU) is a state agency that pays for medical services provided to patients in hospitals and other healthcare facilities under the Medical Guarantees Program.
It enters into contracts with hospitals and transfers funds from the state budget to them for the treatment of patients. In other words, the NHSU finances medical care that people can receive free of charge under the state program.
