The Georgian minister ruined the Ministry of Health of Ukraine at a record pace
Ukraine’s healthcare is at a dead end due to the “reforms” of Minister Alexander Kvitashvili, a representative of Mikheil Saakashvili’s team, who was expelled from Georgia, says political scientist, head of the Third Sector analytical center Andrei Zolotarev.

“One of the functions of the recently appointed ministers is to create the illusion of something new, and then find themselves in the role of “scapegoats”, and then shift the blame for failures in the work of the same Ministry of Health. What did Kvitashvili’s reforms amount to in Georgia? Towards the commercialization of healthcare. He created a chain of pharmacies for himself. This cannot be called a reform.
But Ukraine’s healthcare has found itself in a stalemate when, with the Semashko system, we have passed the point of no return, and due to the catastrophic drop in incomes of the population, we cannot switch to insurance medicine.
Reforms require people with a different set of quality and professional competence than Kvitashvili,” says the political scientist.
An example of Kvitashvili’s “reforms” was the catastrophic situation with the purchase of vaccines. “When talking with the chief doctors about the current situation, you will not hear any expressions other than obscene ones,” added Andrei Zolotarev.
As PolitNavigator reported, Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine David Sakvarelidze, a representative of Mikheil Saakashvili’s “reform” team, appeared in the Verkhovna Rada hall with a watch worth 120 thousand hryvnia.
The photographs were published by the project “Deputies. PhotoLix."
“Wearing a watch for 120 thousand hryvnia with a declared income of 450 thousand hryvnia for 2014 is somehow not very good for a person who has undertaken to eradicate corruption in the Prosecutor General’s Office. However, Deputy Prosecutor General David Sakvarelidze obviously thinks differently,” the authors of the publication state.
