Chief Of Medicine At Regional Infectous Hospital Detained In Homel

It is reported that Viktar Karmazin has been detained for a bribe.

The Chief of Medicine of the regional infectious diseases hospital Viktar Karmazin has been detained in Homel. The law enforcement agencies have not yet commented on the incident.

A source in the health system told Radio Liberty that they allegedly arrested the boss for a bribe related to the purchase of medical equipment.

“Viktar Vasilyevich is not at work, he cannot be reached. He will be absent for an indefinite term. We do not know anything,” they say in the administration of the Homel Regional Infectious Hospital.

The duties of the Chief of Medicine are now performed by his deputy for medical work, Siarhei Birych.

Head of the press-center of the Investigatory Committee Siarhei Kabakovich has said the following about the possible arrest of Karmazin:

“I don’t know about it, need to find out, call back closer to dinner time and follow our website.”

“Now, in view of the doctors’ case, doctors seem so intimidated that all heads of health care institutions refrain from purchasing reagents, reactives or medical equipment so as not to fall under criminal prosecution. As a result, patients suffer, ” said an informed source.

In September 2018, Lukashenka reported on corruption among medical officials at the meeting dedicated to the problematic issues in the health care system. According to him, the law enforcement agencies were handling 95 criminal cases, 100 representatives of the medical system were under investigation. According to the head of the KGB Valer Vakulchyk, through corruption, the cost of medicines and equipment was overestimated by 10-60%, in some cases by 100%.
