Millions, Ducatis and hectares: what the declarations of heads of medical institutions in Odesa hid

The heads of 32 municipal medical institutions in Odesa declared UAH 46 million in income and UAH 36 million in savings in 2025, most of which are kept in cash. The most notable declarations include millions in family income, thousands of square meters of real estate, and fleets of luxury cars and motorcycles.

The Center forPublic Investigations and Intent analyzed the annual declarations of the heads of 32 municipal non-profit healthcare enterprises of the Odesa City Council for the reporting year 2025.

The total income amounted to UAH 46.2 million - 22% more than the same officials declared a year earlier. The total savings amounted to UAH 36.2 million, 81% of which was in cash. Among the findings: a hospital director who owns six cars and more than two thousand square meters of non-residential premises, and a head of a polyclinic whose husband, an entrepreneur, earned UAH 6.6 million.

Before we report on the declarations, it is worth noting that several institutions were reorganized through mergers in 2023-2025. Four maternity hospitals were liquidated as separate legal entities: Maternity Hospital No. 2 and Maternity Hospital No. 4 became part of City Clinical Hospital No. 1 (director - Yevhen Krylov), Maternity Hospital No. 7 - of City Clinical Hospital No. 10 (Denys Sebov), and Maternity Hospital No. 1 - of City Clinical Hospital No. 11 (Mykola Turchyn). Separately, three dental polyclinics - SP No. 1, SP No. 4 and SP No. 5 - are merged with Dental Polyclinic No. 3, headed by Valeriy Shcherbatenko. Thus, several directors from the list are now managing the enlarged institutions, to which the assets of the liquidated institutions have been transferred.

Revenues increased by 22% over the year

The total income of 32 directors in 2025 amounted to UAH 46.2 million. For comparison: 31 executives who filed declarations in 2024 declared 37 million, which means the total amount increased by 22%.

However, 87% of her family income is earned by her husband, Vitaliy Patramansky: 6.59 million hryvnias from entrepreneurial activities. Patramanska's own income is 961 thousand hryvnias (salary 790 thousand, pension 121 thousand, etc.). In 2024, the family declared 2.67 million, an increase of +186% due to the growth of the businessman's husband's income.

Interesting things from the declarations

Holubenko: sharp increase in savings. Director of City Hospital No. 8 Maksym Holubenko increased his savings from 1.85 to 5.72 million hryvnias (+209%) over the year. The basis is 125 thousand dollars in cash (5.3 million at the NBU exchange rate as of 12/31/2025). In addition, he owns more than two thousand square meters of non-residential premises in Odesa and six vehicles. No family members are listed in the declaration.

Patramanska: 87% of income is earned by her husband, an entrepreneur. In 2025, the income of the Patramanska family increased 2.86 times, mainly due to the entrepreneurial income of her husband Vitalii Patramanskyi (UAH 6.59 million).

Shcherbatenko: 7 hectares of his wife's land in Sumy region. The director of the Dental Clinic No. 3 declared 7.07 hectares of land, two equal plots in Hrynivka, Romny district, Sumy region, owned by his wife.

Horishchak: savings have fallen three times. The director of the State Medical Center No. 6, Serhiy Horishchak, reduced his declared savings from UAH 3.83 million to UAH 1.19 million (-69%). The entire amount was kept in cash.

Kuznetsova: a gift from her namesake. Alla Kuznetsova (City Psychiatric Dispensary) declared a gift in cash - 100 thousand hryvnias from Volodymyr Kuznetsov.

Thus, as we can see, thirty-two heads of municipal medical institutions of Odesa declared 46.2 million hryvnias of income and 36.3 million hryvnias of savings, which is 22% and 13% more than a year earlier. Eighty-one percent of the savings are kept in cash, a high percentage but lower than in Kherson (97% in 2025).

Maksym Holubenko tripled his cash savings over the year and owns more than two thousand square meters of non-residential property and six vehicles. Kateryna Patramanska is a leader in terms of income thanks to her husband's business, not her salary. Valeriy Shcherbatenko owns seven hectares of agricultural land in Sumy region. One third of the managers did not declare any savings.
