However, according to him, the VU proposal did not meet the requirements, so it was decided to buy training from the private company “Crisis Research Center” established by the representatives of the private Lithuanian University of Health Sciences.
By order of the Ministry 1.2. Elena Ramelienė, Acting Director of the Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Specialists Competency Center (SSKC), which purchased the € 1 billion training, stated that she had not received a written training proposal from the Crisis Management Center or a training program. training. On Friday, E. Ramelienė did not respond to the question of how the Crisis Management Center’s compliance with the requirements in such a case was assessed.
“We have letters that clearly show that both universities have been addressed, with only one proposal from one of the universities. But that proposal did not correspond to the content of our request, which means that we did not offer what we needed and as much as was necessary, and it was not considered an adequate proposal, ”Minister A.Veryga said at a press conference on Friday.
Her spokesperson Lina Bušinskaitė clarified that the request was sent to LSMU and VU on March 18, it was addressed to the rector of LSMU, Remigijus Žaliūnas and the dean of the VU Faculty of Medicine, Algirdas Utkas.
“As the Minister mentioned, the response was received from a research institution, ie Vilnius University, where it is indicated that they could organize trainings, but not to the desired extent. No response was received from LSMU, “he said.
For universities, it is the responsibility of the ministry.
The letter from A.Veryga sent by the BNS Ministry shows that it is not formulated as a request, but as an obligation.
“The Ministry (…) obliges the representatives of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences and the Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine to organize training courses for healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, residents and other personnel ) on how to intubate patients and how to use artificial lung ventilation devices. safeguards, “the letter says.
According to the LRT, 1.2 million Distance medical training, which cost 1 million euros, was purchased on March 25 from the Crisis Research Center company. The directors and owners of this company are employees of the Department of Extreme Medicine of LSMU, that is, a university unit that can organize this type of training.
As for the market price, at that time it was the one for which you could buy. As far as I know, the colleagues actually negotiated and negotiated a certain amount and were able to buy more of that training for a lesser amount.
LSMU informed LRT that “it has not received the invitation to provide services through any channel.”
The two-hour training contract for a doctor cost 375 euros; the service also included the creation of 40 jobs through the purchase of tablets for institutions. LRT compared that after a few weeks of “live” training organized by VU, an hour cost 8 euros or 16 euros for 2 hours.
A.Veryga reiterated that these two trainings cannot be compared, because VU did not offer the desired scope of services.
“As for the market price, at that time it was the one for which you could buy. As far as I know, the colleagues actually negotiated and negotiated a certain amount and were able to buy a larger amount of that training for a lesser amount. But at that time there was that market price and if it had been possible to buy something better, it would have been done, ”he said.
The company did not provide a written proposal or training program.
E. Ramelienė, the acting head of the Center of Competence for Healthcare and Pharmacy Specialists, which purchased training on coronavirus treatment, said that LRT had spoken with LSMU about the possibility of training, but the university “did not speak” due to the job. According to her, VU was not contacted for training.

On Friday, BNS E. Ramelienė presented another version, which SAM had requested from both universities (VU and LSMU), but they were not satisfied with the programs offered by them.
That is why SAM was in charge of organizing training for the Center of Competence for Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Specialists, which in turn was applied to the company Crisis Management Center.
According to E. Ramelienė, the company has not submitted any written offer or program.
“The specifications were submitted before the proposal was submitted and the specifications clearly indicated what the ministry wanted the specialists to provide and they met those criteria,” said E. Ramelienė.
According to her, the technical specification for public procurement was drawn up by the Ministry of Health.
When asked how compliance with the criteria was assessed, if the company had not provided a training program, outreach, list of teachers, E. Ramelienė said he could not answer this question because he was in a rush to comply. She promised to give answers next week.
Dinas Vaitkaitis, head of the Crisis Management Center, who is also the head of the Department of Extreme Medicine at LSMU, also did not answer whether the company had submitted a written training offer to the center.
He claimed that he had not been contacted as head of the LSMU department for the training service. However, D.Vaitkaitis did not provide an answer on who requested training as a manager of a private company and when.
“No, I was not with me as head of the Department of Extreme Medicine at LSMU (speaking – BNS). The infrastructure created during your aforementioned purchase to guarantee the work of doctors throughout Lithuania was implemented by UAB Krizinių tyrimai centers. Both the company negotiated how the contract was concluded and provided the services themselves. The training infrastructure was set up in a few days, implemented throughout Lithuania and is fully operational today. I have no data on the client’s negotiations with other providers, “said D. Vaitkaitis to BNS.
