In the Kyiv region, a doctor from Bila Tserkva was detained on suspicion of abuse of influence. He offered the serviceman, for a reward, to enter a false category of suitability for military service in the medical documents, which would allow him to remain in the rear. The attacker estimated 40 thousand hryvnias for his "services".
A military serviceman turned to the doctor with a request to undergo a medical examination. Having found out that the patient is an active military man, the doctor suggested that he write down in the documents that he is of limited fitness for service, which would allow him to avoid participating in hostilities. The doctor also promised to influence the chief doctor of the VLK to draw up a corresponding unreliable conclusion.
While receiving the money, the doctor was detained by law enforcement officers. For what he committed, he faces up to eight years in prison with confiscation of property.
The law enforcement officers have already opened criminal proceedings on the fact of abuse of influence, and the doctor was informed of the suspicion. The court chose a preventive measure for him in the form of detention with the possibility of posting bail.
This detention calls into question the ethics of medical care in conditions of war, and also emphasizes the need for closer control of the activities of medical professionals who have access to military medical records.
