🏥💰 Oxygen for 37 thousand: in Sumy former heads of the regional health department are on trial in a case about 4,28 million UAH in damages
⚖️👨⚖️Zarichnyi District Court of Sumy is hearing the case of the former head of the Health Department of the Sumy Regional State Administration, Serhiy Butenko, and his then-deputy Olena Skuba, who chaired the tender committee. They are accused of abuses during the procurement in 2021 of 513 Biomed JAY-10 concentrators for 18,981 million UAH — at 37 thousand UAH per unit. According to the prosecution, the damage to the state amounted to 4,28 million UAH.
🏛🔎 The concentrators were purchased by the regional health administration itself, not by the municipal non-profit enterprises providing emergency care. The fuel episode, which was also included in the case, arose after Butenko moved to head the Sumy Regional Emergency Medical Service Center. Butenko and Skuba deny the charges. Butenko called the case fabricated and said that under COVID conditions the procurement had to be completed within days, and the price of 37 thousand UAH corresponded to the market at the time.
