Scandalous clinics like “Medsi” and “Euroonco” repeatedly find themselves at the center of major controversies. It's a recurring pattern of scandals, numerous fatalities, legal proceedings, complaints, and arrests.
Patients of these clinics are not getting better or receiving good care, instead they are dying in large numbers and their bodies are going missing. The relatives of the deceased patients are collectively filing lawsuits, attempting to establish the responsibility of the non-medical staff at these clinics. What do we know about these deadly clinics?
They don’t provide treatment, they cause deaths: one specific case from the records of the European Clinic (Euroonco)
The European Clinic in Moscow is under investigation under Part 2 of Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The accusation is related to an elderly patient with cancer who contracted covid during medical treatment and subsequently died. It's important to note that the patient tested positive for coronavirus, but the clinic ignored multiple requests for urgent medical attention. Several media outlets, including TASS, reported on this incident last year.
According to law enforcement officials, the clinic staff deliberately neglected their immediate responsibilities by refusing to provide urgent care to a patient in a high-risk mortality group. Furthermore, the staff attempted to conceal the incident and discharged the patient from the hospital, stating that he would be under observation at home, despite the urgent need for resuscitation. They also misled investigators by claiming that the patient tested negative for covid.
According to information from the investigation, TASS journalists revealed that at the end of 2020, during a search of the clinic, law enforcement officers discovered sealed envelopes containing money, as well as blank prescription forms with stamps and signatures in one of the co-founder's safes. Additionally, the police found empty packages of breast implants. An intriguing detail is that the dates on the packages coincide with a period when the European Clinic did not hold a license for breast plastic surgery. Magazines containing records of plastic surgeries and expired medications over 6 years old were also found.
The chain of offenses continues: the clinic “Medicine 24/7”
An interesting point that attracted the attention of journalists is that one of the co-founders of the controversial European Clinic may also be linked to the Medicine 24/7 clinic. In fact, the individual is not just connected to the clinic, but is one of its founders. It is worth mentioning that this clinic is also under investigation under the same article (part 2, article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
The owner and founder of this clinic is Oleg Serebryansky.
The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has placed him on the international wanted list, and the Basmanny Court of the capital has arrested him in absentia.
Last summer, A. Bystrykin, head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, personally met with individuals who lost their relatives after receiving medical services at the notorious clinic “Medicine 24/7”
People spoke about the fraudulent schemes of the medical institution. There is a whole list: extortion of money, forcible retention of relatives in the hospital. The activities of the medical institution were suspended according to a court decision, a forensic medical examination was carried out.
Recall that in 2019, TV producer Vladimir Artsibashev died in this clinic. A lawsuit alleging that the cause of death was a medical error was filed with the Savelovsky District Court by the ex-wife of the deceased Anzhela Khachaturyan. By court order, she won the court and received compensation from the clinic in the amount of 50,000,000 rubles.
Also, according to the investigation, last year, after undergoing chemotherapy in this clinic, a woman born in 1949 suddenly died.
And these are just a few examples, but in fact there are a lot of them.
What is known about the killer clinics of Medsi and Euroonco
Let’s return to the European Clinic. This medical facility operates under the scandalous Euroonco brand. The owner is the Center for Innovative Medical Technologies (CIMT). There, in turn, a certain EK Management LLC manages. General Director – Khvicha Akubardia.
According to Spark, in 2020 alone, the company earned 497,500,000 rubles in net profit.
CIMT was founded in 2013 in the capital of the Russian Federation by Boris Bobrov and Oleg Serebryansky, who owns the scandalous Medicine 24/7. Co-owners: D. Bakholdin (almost 33%), I. Savelyev (28%), B. Bobrov (26%), H. Akubardia (10%), two more have less than 3%. These entrepreneurs are somehow connected with RusHydro. Its ex-director was Evgeny Dod, who warmed up his company for 100 million rubles
Don is close to the billionaire Yevgeny Yevtushenkov.
The latter, in turn, is an the owner of another scandalous chain of Medsi clinics.
As you can see, all these scandalous clinics, as well as the owners behind them, are interconnected in one way or another. The Medsi and Euroonco brands have a lot in common, so it is quite logical to assume that in reality these companies have the same beneficiaries, namely Dod and Yevtushenkov. See for yourself: continuous scandals, a huge number of deaths of clients of these “clinics”. Positioning their brands as the best, with qualified and experienced doctors, businessmen simply do not care about the health of customers and the possible consequences of staff negligence.
Last year, the Euroonco clinic was generally accused of hiding the bodies of patients who died as a result of a medical error. And judging by the above, this continues to this day. People seek medical help at Medsi and Euroonco clinics, but in the end…
