Doctors in Kropyvnytskyi were caught issuing false diagnoses
Investigators from the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) have exposed the head of the cardiology department and an endocrinologist at the Central City Hospital in Kropyvnytskyi, who are suspected of facilitating the fraudulent issuance of medical documents.
