Disability allowance for bribes: Doctors caught in Samarkand and Bogot
Systematic efforts aimed at putting an end to corruption in Uzbekistan's medical system are ongoing. During operational events conducted by employees of the Department under the General Prosecutor's Office in Samarkand and Khorezm regions, doctors who promised to illegally issue disability allowances to citizens were caught red-handed with physical evidence.
Zamin.uz provides detailed information about the specifics of these two separate crimes, the identities of the suspects, and the legal measures taken against them.
1. Disability for 5 million soums in Samarkand: Fraudulent doctor exposed
In a preliminary investigation conducted by the Samarkand district department of the Department under the General Prosecutor's Office, the criminal act of I.A., a doctor at the central hospital of the district health department, was exposed.
According to the investigation data, I.A. promised to register citizen S.E. for a Group 2 disability allowance and process the relevant documents. In exchange for this service, he fraudulently obtained 5 million soums. As a result of the inquiries conducted, the return of the illegally acquired funds was processed in accordance with procedural order.
2. Disability through "connections" in Bogot: Hazorasp doctor caught taking a bribe
Another important blow against corruption was dealt in the Khorezm region. During an operational event conducted by the Bogot district department of the Department, K.B., a doctor at the Hazorasp district medical association, was apprehended.
It turned out that K.B. had promised to arrange a Group 2 disability allowance for citizen N.A. ostensibly through acquaintances working in high positions. He was caught red-handed while receiving 3.6 million soums, part of the agreed amount of 300 US dollars for this service. This operational operation became an important step aimed at breaking the corruption chain among medical workers.
Criminal case and investigative actions are underway
Criminal cases have been initiated against the defendants in both cases under the relevant articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan:
Article 168 (Fraud);
Articles 28, 211 (Bribery).
Currently, law enforcement agencies are carrying out investigative actions and taking measures to clarify all the details of the crime. Ensuring transparency in the medical sphere and protecting citizens' rights remains one of the priority directions of state policy.
