“When I assumed these responsibilities, I knew there were many problems ahead. It is regrettable that, while the Government and the SAM are doing everything possible to reach the country with as many vaccines as possible, and to receive them mainly from those identified in the priority groups, the abuses have arisen at a time when unity and integrity are paramount. The cases described in public do not differ from the misappropriation or looting of other public assets, ”the minister writes on the social network Facebook.
“We cannot live in a global atmosphere of mistrust, all processes in the health system cannot be centralized. It must be recognized that only the medical institutions themselves know which specific people work with patients with COVID-19 and which specific people comply with the conditions set out in the procedure, and we must rely on them, however, with the team, we are forced to take additional steps to ensure transparency.
The Ministry of Health (SAM) of the Žalgiris Clinics of the Vilnius University Hospital communicated yesterday with the heads of the clinics regarding possible violations of the priority group vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccine, requesting explanations about the possible violation of the priority group vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccine. Once the response is received, a meeting of interested parties will be organized in accordance with the institution’s statutes, where the information provided will be evaluated and, if there is a legal basis, an investigation will be carried out on possible breaches of the manager’s job responsibilities ” , said.
