– The manager confirmed that the prosecution is controlling and cooperating – there was no drainage of the health insurance fund
– However, the medical universities of Sofia and Plovdiv insist that doctors from the SPA capital have not attended courses or issued them documents.
With false certificates for the qualification of doctors, Velingrad Hospital has concluded contracts for clinical pathways, according to which the National Health Insurance Fund has paid for the treatment of patients.
Two months ago, the name of the hospital and its manager, Dr. Zheko Chesmedjiev, appeared in the media for the refusal to admit coronavirus patients, as well as emergency stroke patients.
The false certificates are another scandal in the municipal health institution, which is subject to inspection by the prosecution and the sector “Fight against economic crime” in the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of the Interior in Pazardzhik.
In 2016, the director of the Velingrad hospital, Dr. Zheko Chesmedjiev, announced to the municipal council, who is the director of the health center, that he would apply for a loan of BGN 1 million. The explanation is that this is the only way to save the hospital from debt to providers. Awesome

According to sources from the regional directorate of the Ministry of the Interior, this time the hospital manager, an orthopedist by profession, presented false certificates of professional qualification and took specialized courses. (see facsimiles).
False documents were detected in the NHIF, in addition to orthopedics and a pediatrician for a limited specialization course in neonatology, as well as other specialties. During the inspection of the medical universities of Plovdiv and Sofia, which were identified by Dr. Chesmedjiev as the places where specializations and courses were carried out, they categorically denied having issued such documents. Both universities insisted that the Velingrad doctors did not take the aforementioned courses or receive certificates from them.

The Velingrad city council is expected to temporarily remove Dr. Chesmedjiev until another scandal, involving the hospital, is cleared up.
The manager of the Velingrad hospital confirmed to “24 Chasa” that the health institution is subject to inspection and that it provides full assistance to the prosecution to clarify all the facts.
“We haven’t exhausted the health insurance fund. I don’t know where these allegations come from. I don’t have false certificates either. All my certificates are genuine.

Velingrad city councilors are preparing to ask Mayor Kostadin Koev why Dr. Chesmedjiev is still the hospital director and is pushing for the inspections not to come to an end.
The May 2016 story with the private company Veli Medicus was never fully clarified as no loan of BGN 1 million was taken. Then it became clear that almost half a million lev is the debt with this private center. Under the contract, Veli Medicus provides “specialized outpatient medical care”, providing a CT scanner and an X-ray machine for X-ray examinations. At the time, one of the partners in Veli-Medicus was also a city councilor, Dr. Kalachev, who participated in voting on the decisions for the future of the hospital.

for a period of 7 years The scanner was purchased for BGN 97,600 with VAT and the X-ray machine for BGN 46,800 with VAT, for a total of BGN 144,400 with VAT. Therefore, the equipment costs the hospital BGN 180,000 per year and during the term of the contract BGN 1,260,000, which is almost ten times higher than the actual market value of the purchased equipment. The amount is a net income of Veli-Medicus OOD, as it only purchases and delivers the equipment, and all costs are borne by the Velingrad hospital.
