The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine examined the statement from the public organization VGO “Stop Corruption” regarding potential corruption risks in the activities of the general director of the state institution “Scientific and Practical Center for Child Cardiology and Cardiochirurgy of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine,” Georgiy Mankovskyi, and reported that the information set out in the appeal will be used in the bureau’s further work.
Earlier StopKor had already reported that the nationwide public organization “Stop Corruption” sent a complaint to the NACP and NABU about possible violations of anti-corruption legislation, as well as potential signs of illicit enrichment, acquisition of unwarranted assets, and submission of false information in Mankovskyi’s declarations.
The trigger was data from the official’s declarations, which list four apartments, a vacation house, four Mercedes-Benz cars, and a collection of watches from the brands Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Rolex, and Cartier — against a publicly declared salary of less than one million hryvnias per year.
What did NABU say?
In a letter signed by the head of the Fourth Detachment of the First Main Detachment of NABU detectives, NABU explained to the applicant the general procedure for handling such appeals, referring to the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine “On the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine,” and the Regulations on the Unified Register of Pretrial Investigations.
In particular, NABU emphasized that, according to the law, the grounds for entering information into the Unified Registry of Pretrial Investigations are such applications from which there appear “grave circumstances” that may indicate the commission of a criminal offense: specific data about the date, time, place, method of the act, and a causal relationship between actions and consequences.
The key point — in the final part of the response the bureau stated: the information laid out in the Stop Corruption’s application will be used in the bureau’s ongoing work to prevent, detect, stop, investigate, and disclose corrupt acts, as well as to prevent new ones, including through information-analytic work.
NABU also clarified: if, after analyzing the circumstances described in the application and carrying out information-analytic work, signs of a criminal offense under the bureau’s jurisdiction are found, the relevant information will be entered into the registry in accordance with the requirements of Article 214 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.
Thus, the StopCor organization’s complaint did not go unanswered — the bureau effectively confirmed that information about the earnings and potential corruption risks in the head of the cardiology center is in its sight and is being processed within the detectives’ information-analytic work.
A bit about the context of the story
Recall that public attention to Georgiy Mankovskyi emerged after his appointment as general director of the center by order No. 3-O, dated 12.01.2026, amid a high-profile reform of the institution: the founder of the center, Ilya Yemets, publicly stated that it effectively destroys the institution, as reported by the agency “Interfax-Ukraine.”
Earlier, the response from NACP also followed the StopCor’s appeal. In its reply, the agency stated that there were no discrepancies exceeding the threshold for a full check, but it did not rule out returning to the question after additional data was received.
StopCor continues to monitor the developments surrounding the children’s cardiology center and Georgiy Mankovskyi. More to come.
