MSEC in Ukraine has been marred by allegations of corruption and fraud, prompting substantial reforms beginning January 2025. With the signing of Law 4170-ІХ by President Zelenskyy, the medical and social expert commissions (MSEC) are set for liquidation as an effort to combat entrenched malpractice. Reports reveal vast misdeclarations of wealth and widespread issuance of fraudulent disabilities. Experts note the transfer of incomplete disability cases from liquidated MSECs to new expert commissions in hospitals. The changes aim to replace the bureaucratic system with a more effective, digitalized service that prioritizes rehabilitation and adapts workplaces to individual needs. Investigations continue, exposing fake disability schemes and significant asset concealment by MSEC officials.

What actions led to the MSEC reform in Ukraine?

The MSEC reform in Ukraine was prompted by extensive evidence of corruption, including fraudulent disability certifications and asset misdeclarations by officials. President Zelenskyy's initiative to liquidate the MSEC aims to rebuild the system into a transparent, digitalized service that enhances rehabilitation and workplace adaptation.

How will the new medical and social expert system operate?

The new system replacing the MSECs will be digitalized, focusing on results-driven rehabilitation and integration of disabled individuals into active life. It aims to address corruption through transparent processes and person-centered approaches, transferring ongoing cases to medical expert commissions in hospitals.

What legal measures address the MSEC corruption cases?

Authorities, including the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Security Service of Ukraine, are actively investigating MSEC corruption. Legal actions involve asset seizures and significant penalties, aiming to dismantle fraudulent schemes and hold those responsible accountable, ensuring that misused funds are recovered.

What are the implications of the MSEC liquidations?

The liquidation of MSECs implies a structural overhaul within Ukraine's medical and social examination framework. This move intends to eradicate long-standing corruption, repurpose resources, and streamline processes by transferring active cases to medical entities better equipped to manage them ethically and efficiently.

Who is affected by the fraudulent disability schemes?

Individuals affected by the fraudulent disability schemes include both those who facilitated the illegitimate certifications and others indirectly involved, such as military-age men seeking draft evasion through fake disabilities. The schemes also implicated various officials who concealed wealth or engaged in bribery to manipulate MSEC decisions.

How will the reform of MSEC contribute to healthcare in Ukraine?

The reform aims to establish a streamlined, corruption-free process for medical and social assessments. By focusing on transparency and digitalization, the healthcare system will be better positioned to serve disabled individuals, ensuring fair evaluations and facilitating a smoother reintegration into society and the workforce.
