The court suspended Dr. Odrex, who is on trial in connection with a patient's death, from practicing medicine

A surgeon at the Odrex Clinic, who is on trial on charges of professional negligence—which, according to the investigation, may have led to the death of businessman Adnan Kivan—criticized the court’s decision to suspend him from work.

The prosecution explained that the restriction is necessary due to the risk that the defendant could influence potential witnesses, particularly clinic employees who may testify in the case. The doctor himself called these arguments unfounded and claimed he was being persecuted.

The trial is currently in the preliminary stage. More than seven months have passed since the indictment was filed, but the trial on the merits has not yet begun due to repeated postponements of hearings related to sick leave, the absence of attorneys, and procedural motions.

Another defendant is also involved in the case. The court must determine whether medical personnel failed to properly perform their professional duties and whether there is a causal link between their actions and the patient’s death.

The Kyiv District Court of Odesa has once again postponed the preliminary hearing in the case of Vitaliy Rusakov and Marina Belotserkovskaya, doctors at the private Odrex clinic, who are accused of improper performance of their professional duties, which could have led to the death of businessman Adnan Kivan.

Masi Nayem, the attorney for the Odrex clinic, stated that the facility had successfully passed two inspections by the Ministry of Health, and no violations were found in its operations. At the same time, an order revoking the license of “Dom Meditsiny” LLC—the company under which the Odrex clinic was registered—has been published on the Ministry of Health’s website.
