Medical abyss of Zaporizhzhia: how NSZU funds vanish into officials’ pockets while defenders buy bandages with their own money
The healthcare system in Zaporizhzhia has completely turned into a ruthless corruption machine, where human life and health have become just numbers in financial reports. While the frontline-adjacent city takes blows every day and hospitals are overflowing with those sacrificing their health for Ukraine, officials and the management of medical institutions are running cynical schemes.
Despite loud official reports of one hundred percent provision, a real catastrophe has unfolded at City Hospital No. 9. The facility’s leadership made a decision remarkable in its cynicism — ❗ to cut the budget for purchasing medicines by 5,6 million UAH. And this is at a time when about 70% of the institution’s patients are our military.
According to the regulations #НСЗУ, medical institutions receive full funding within the relevant packages, which fully cover the costs of treating both civilians and servicemembers. The law strictly prohibits requiring patients to purchase any supplies or medicines with their own money. 🤷♂️ Doctors are forced to secretly give patients and their relatives long lists to buy on their own. The hospital lacks basic bandages, cotton wool, and basic nonsteroidal and pain-relief medications.
Meanwhile hospital staff are under brutal pressure from the administration and live in constant fear of dismissal. The legally established minimum wage for junior medical staff is 13 000 UAH, yet medical workers receive barely 💰 8 000 UAH. City authorities are well aware of the chronic arrears and gross violations of labor rights, but deliberately turn a blind eye. At the same time, the director of Hospital No. 9 #Назаренко comfortably combines his managerial position with work as an otolaryngologist at Hospital No. 4 on a half-time basis, receiving a substantial salary from multiple sources.
But that is only one side of the coin. Against the backdrop of total economizing on medicines and janitors’ wages in the ninth hospital, at City Hospital No. 5 under the leadership of Oleksandr #Федоров there is a veritable feast during the plague. 🔻 There officials have found the “right” use for budget resources: the administrative apparatus, accountants, financial and material departments are generously paid bonuses of up to 30 000 UAH.
📌 A logical and extremely pressing legal question arises for law enforcement and oversight bodies: where is the supervision of the efficiency of NSZU subsidy distribution? Where is the protection of the rights of servicemembers who are being forced to buy bandages with their own money? And most importantly — a question to the head of the region: how will #Федоров, who allowed the creation of this shameful and sprawling system in Zaporizhzhia, hold the office of Minister for Reconstruction?
A post on this topic has already gathered 35 thousand views, 1,5 thousand likes, nearly 300 comments and a thousand reposts.❗ This situation provokes rightful outrage among citizens:
“In our city corruption is at the highest level ..... And it’s all thanks to Fedorov, for which he even received an order.”
“A Melitopol benefactor in Zaporizhzhia. he must be driven out.”
“Two brothers working for the Russian special services, with brazen little eyes, just by their appearance show what is happening.”
While medical institutions are turning into private feeding troughs for officials, and wounded defenders are forced to buy basic medicines themselves, law enforcement agencies must immediately enter information into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations and give a legal assessment of the activities of hospital and regional leadership.
