Scandalous tender for reconstruction of Okhmatdyt, which was entrusted to unknown company, will be canceled

The tender for the reconstruction of the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital, which was damaged by a russian missile, will be canceled and a new one will be held.

Minister of Health Viktor Liashko stated this at a press conference.

He emphasized that the contract with the winner of the tender caused a negative public response, which is why it was not signed. The new tender will be conducted through the state procurement system Prozorro. This will happen within 7-16 days.

Funds collected for the Okhmatdyt Charity Fund will be transferred to the hospital's treasury account. UAH 312 million went directly to the charity account of the Okhmatdyt institution, UAH 378 million to the Okhmatdyt charity fund, UAH 320 million were collected through the United24 platform, and another UAH 100 million was allocated by the government from the reserve fund.

The decision will be made by the supervisory board made up of representatives of the Ministry of Health, the administration of the children's hospital and benefactors who donated the largest sums for the reconstruction of Okhmatdyt.

We will remind you that the tender for the restoration of the hospital was won by a company that has only 1 mobile crane, 1 dump truck and 1 excavator on lease. It was the third most expensive offer from construction companies with an offer amounting to UAH 307 million.

Minister of Health Viktor Liashko asks the law enforcement officers to check the tender for the repair of the building of the National Children's Specialized Hospital Okhmatdyt.

In July, the Charitable Fund Okhmatdyt - Healthy Childhood announced a tender for the current (urgent) repair of the facade and internal equipment of the Okhmatdyt building, which was damaged on July 8 as a result of a russian missile attack.
