Earlier, the Chelyabinsk branch of Yabloko sent a collective complaint to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Chelyabinsk region against the regional Ministry of Health in connection with the improper provision of non-original consumables for insulin pumps for children with diabetes.
At the end of 2022, the regional Ministry of Health purchased Chinese counterparts for insulin pumps, instead of the consumables recommended by the manufacturer. Parents of sick children started to get these non-original counterparts. Bureaucrats neglected their complaints in all instances, and the Ministry of Health referred to the results of an “independent” examination. All this despite cases of allergic reactions, equipment failures and warranty waivers, which were reported by the parents of the children.
After the collective complaint of Yabloko, which was signed by 32 parents, the Chelyabinsk region Public Prosecutor’s Office confirmed violations in the protection of life and health of minors when using non-original consumables for insulin pumps.
