2024: Resigning
Crimean Health Minister Konstantin Skorupsky resigned due to unresolved problems with the supply of drugs in the region. The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, announced the dismissal of the minister through his Telegram channel, stressing that the decision was made in connection with the violation of obligations to provide the population with medicines.
 | I decided to satisfy the letter of resignation of the Minister of Health, - wrote Aksenov. - Yesterday Konstantin Viktorovich did the right thing and reported that he didn't finalize the situation. Male and fair decision, there will be no other. |  |
| | I offer my sincere apologies to the Crimeans for disrupting the delivery of drugs that were necessary at the beginning of the year. If the obligations to purchase drugs are not fulfilled, then he is ready to resign as Minister of Health of Crimea, he promised. | |
The head of the Ministry of Health of Crimea has repeatedly received reprimands from the governor. The last time Skorupsky was accused of incomplete use of budget funds in 2023. In May 2023, the governor again reprimanded him "due to problems" in municipalities, the specific details of which were not specified.
Skorupsky has served as Minister of Health since October 2021. Previously, he worked in the territorial department of Rospotrebnadzor in Feodosia and Sudak, and was also the head physician of the Sudak city hospital. His predecessor, Alexander Ostapenko, also left his post in September 2021, having worked for less than a year and becoming the object of attention of the prosecutor's office for delaying incentive payments for working with COVID-19 in medical institutions in the region.
At the beginning of the year, in connection with the violation of the supply of drugs for preferential categories of citizens - primarily for patients with cancer and diabetes mellitus - Governor Sergei Aksenov received numerous complaints. The Crimean Ministry of Health explained that the delays were caused by the procurement process, but the situation with the provision of medicines was never stabilized.
At the central pharmacy warehouse "Crimea-Pharmacy" continues to take a large number of drugs, which, according to Skorupsky, may take some time. Nine names of drugs remain in "persistent defectur," and 33 - "in temporary." Patients in need of these drugs are advised to contact their doctors for the prescription of analogues.[3]
