The public organization All-Ukrainian NGO “Stop Corruption” appealed to the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) with a statement regarding possible corruption risks in the declarations of the general director of the State Institution “Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine,” Heorhiy Mankovsky. The NACP reviewed the appeal and provided a response in which it refuted some of the risks and left some questions open pending additional information.
The reason for public attention to Mankovsky’s person was the reorganization of the state institution “Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine” into a state non-commercial company with the same name. The founder of the center, Illia Yemets, publicly stated that the reorganization effectively destroys the institution — this was reported by Interfax-Ukraine and other media.
At the beginning of 2026, Heorhiy Mankovsky took charge of the center — he was appointed to the position of general director by order No. 3-O dated 12.01.2026, which the NACP itself confirmed in its reply.
What was found in Mankovsky’s declarations?
After the appointment, the media (including the publication Komersant) published reports about Mankovsky’s property — an apartment worth about 30 million UAH and four premium-class cars declared during the war.
Analysts from Stop Corruption processed three declarations of the official — one submitted on 26.12.2025 (for the year 2024, while serving as director), one submitted on 12.01.2026 (for the year 2025, while serving as general director), and an amended annual declaration submitted on 20.03.2026.
The analysis of the declarations established the following:
Real estate. The first declaration lists four apartments with a total area of 606,2 m² valued at 30 759 075 UAH (excluding the value of one apartment of 169,7 m², whose value is not specified), as well as an unfinished construction object with an area of 52,6 m². In the next declaration a vacation house valued at 3 036 895 UAH was added, as well as four land plots with a total area of 24 734 m².
Transport. The declarations include four Mercedes-Benz vehicles — a G580 2024 year (8 187 725 UAH, purchased 16.12.2024), an AMG G63 2022 year (6 823 990 UAH, purchased 30.01.2024), an AMG G63 2024 year (4 000 000 UAH, purchased 13.09.2024) and an AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ (4 085 217 UAH, purchased 17.09.2024), some of which are registered in the name of the declarant’s wife, Olena Mankovska. The total value of vehicles acquired in 2022–2024 years, according to the declaration, is 23 096 932 UAH.
Watches. Among the valuable movable property declared are watches by Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Rolex and Cartier.
Corporate rights. In the first declaration Mankovsky is listed as a founder of LLC “Cardio Liga” (EDRPOU 41827814) with a share of 1,47% of the charter capital. However, Stop Corruption analysts recorded that as of 22.06.2026 Mankovsky is no longer in the list of founders/participants and ultimate beneficiaries of the company.
Income. The declarant’s declared salary is 987 117 UAH per year, while cash holdings amount to 180 000 US dollars and over 2,26 million UAH in bank deposits. The main income of the family is generated by the declarant’s wife, who declared over 22 million UAH of income for the year, including from entrepreneurial activity and the disposal of movable property.
It was precisely the discrepancy between the official salary and the volume of declared assets that prompted Stop Corruption to ask the NACP and NABU to conduct a full audit of the declarations, monitor the official’s lifestyle and provide a legal assessment of possible signs of illicit enrichment.
NACP’s position: assets acquired before appointment; no corporate rights at the end of the period
In its response dated 03.08.2026, the NACP reported that, based on a preliminary analysis of the appeal and information from state registers, no discrepancies between the declaration data and the registers were found that exceed 150 subsistence minimums for able-bodied persons (the threshold set for conducting a full audit).
The agency also noted that the main assets reflected in the initially submitted declarations were acquired before the declarant began performing state functions, namely:
an apartment valued at 30 333 075 UAH — 13.06.2024;
a vacation house valued at 3 036 895 UAH — 22.01.2025;
four land plots — 22.01.2025;
two vehicles valued at 8 187 725 UAH and 4 000 000 UAH — 13.09.2024 and 16.12.2024 respectively.
According to the NACP’s conclusion, the declarant and members of his family had the financial means to acquire the specified assets — this is confirmed by data from the State Register of Individuals — Taxpayers on accrued and paid incomes.
The agency separately emphasized that at the time of appointment Mankovsky was not a participant in LLC “Cardio Liga,” since 30.12.2025 withdrew from the list of company participants, transferring his share to the company itself, which is confirmed by a notarized statement. Accordingly, at the end of the reporting period the declarant did not own corporate rights in this company — this fact aligns with Stop Corruption analysts’ conclusion about Mankovsky’s removal from the list of the company’s founders.
At the same time, the NACP stressed that the question of conducting a full audit of the declaration can be resolved after receiving additional factual data; in other words, the agency did not definitively refuse a full audit, leaving the question open.
