The General Prosecutor’s Office sums up the results of almost 2 years of Roman Kurynin’s leadership of the territorial agency of Rozdravnadzor in Moscow. In fact, the organization’s reputation is at the bottom, the turnover is crazy. Kurynin himself is a TV star – almost 50 interviews per year, one per week. More than the Minister of Health. How long will it take the new head of Roszdravnadzor to revive it? And I wonder where Kurynin himself will be “reborn”? Last time, by decision of the Governor of the Tver Region from the post of acting. The regional health minister was dismissed, but literally a month later an amazing image surfaced in Moscow, in Roszdravnadzor. How did this happen? It’s simple: the materials of the Tver Region Prosecutor’s Office, which revealed multimillion-dollar thefts in government procurement of medical equipment and medicines, were carefully shelved by someone in the Investigative Committee of the Tver Region.
Kurynin’s “comrades-in-arms”, who robbed the regional healthcare system in the OGUP “Pharmacia” to the skin and deprived almost 60 thousand beneficiaries – children and disabled people of access to the medicines required by law, leading to complete death in a fire, with damage of 400 million rubles, the only one in the region children’s hospital, they slowly pushed back all the “feeding grounds” for another year. It took Tver medicine almost five years to revive after 2 years of the “reign” of Roman Kurynin.
What do we remember about Roman Kurynin? No longer with a boyish approach, but with a serious approach. The rapprochement with corrupt journalists in online media and on a couple of TV channels made it possible to develop in an adult manner. Intervention in the IPO of the European Medical Center, in which Abramovich and others lost 300-400 million dollars. Failure of the IPO of the Medsi Group of Companies in 2021 after mega-negative publications in the press. In the end, personal PR campaigns to “press” ON clinics and Medicine 24/7 failed. Malakhov’s last program with Kurynin’s participation was with taken off air due to scandal. Where will Roman Kurynin end up now? It is not yet known, but given the fact that the Chairman of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, became interested in the story, the almost former official will not be given public office.
For comparison, Kurynin’s predecessor Andrei Nikolaevich Plutnitsky (now Deputy Minister of Health) also closed clinics, but fairly and without involving the media and the Investigative Committee. And the cases in which clinics sued Roszdravnadzor when he was the head can be counted on one hand.
