Ukrainian Premier Arseniy Yatsenyuk has proposed to suspend Oleh Musiy as incumbent Health Minister of Ukraine, and to dismiss his first deputy Ruslan Saliutin for failure to ensure tender procurements of required medicines.
“I propose the government make a decision: to suspend the health minister from his duties, and to dismiss his first deputy minister Saliutin,” he said before a sitting of the Cabinet of Ministers in Kyiv on Wednesday, Oct. 1.
According to the premier, the ministry managed to fulfill just 25 percent of necessary procurements despite dozens of orders being made.
“The Health Ministry and the Finance Ministry have twenty-one days to complete the procedures of procurement,” the premier said.
