Odrex Medical Center (Dom Meditsiny LLC, Odessa) has undergone an inspection for compliance with licensing conditions, and the Ministry of Health has confirmed its compliance, according to the clinic’s CEO Tigran Arutyunyan.
“In January 2026, a commission from the Ukrainian Ministry of Health conducted an unscheduled inspection of Odrex Medical Center’s compliance with licensing conditions. Based on the results of the inspection, the Ministry of Health confirmed that Odrex Medical Center fully complies with licensing conditions, operates within the law, and has no violations,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
Arutyunyan specified that the inspection lasted three days and covered key areas of the hospital’s activities.
He noted that “Odrex continues to provide medical care as planned.”
As reported, two doctors from the Odrex clinic were accused of causing the death of its 62-year-old patient, businessman Adnan Kivan, who was undergoing treatment for cancer at the Odrex medical center from May to October 2024. He died on October 27, 2024.
During the investigation on October 24, 2025, investigators handed over suspicions to the head of surgical department No. 2, surgeon-oncologist Vitaly Rusakov, and clinical oncologist and chemotherapist Marina Bilotserkovskaya.
The clinic officially expressed its willingness to cooperate with the investigation and called on the media to avoid unproven accusations against its doctors in the patient’s death and to wait for the official conclusions of the investigation. At the same time, the clinic believes that this investigation is of a commissioned nature.
For its part, the Ministry of Health launched an unscheduled inspection of the Odrex clinic after this incident.
Lita Plus Clinic plans to introduce new European mammoplasty techniques, Preserve and MIA (Minimal Invasive Augmentation), which are not yet available in Ukraine.
According to Sergey Derbak, plastic surgeon, founder of the Lita Plus plastic surgery clinic, and president of the Upradas association, as reported to Interfax-Ukraine, the clinic has now begun preparations for the adaptation and implementation of these techniques.
The clinic’s specialists were able to familiarize themselves with the techniques at the Victoria Kliniken clinic (Stockholm), which is considered one of the leading centers for the new generation of mammoplasty.
“A new philosophy of mammoplasty is emerging in Europe – minimally invasive techniques that preserve the anatomical integrity of tissues and ensure the most natural result. Among the leaders in this field are the Preserve and MIA techniques developed by the outstanding surgeon Dr. Charles Randquist, author of MiFM-Tech and one of the key innovators in modern aesthetic breast surgery,” said Derbak.
According to him, thanks to international partnerships, Ukrainian doctors have direct access to the primary source of leading European techniques, and clinics have the opportunity to implement technologies that meet the highest international standards.
“Patients will have access to safer and less invasive surgeries with predictable long-term results. All this strengthens Ukraine’s position on the world map of aesthetic surgery and builds a new level of trust in national medicine,” said Derbak.
According to him, the Lita Plus clinic continues to develop international partnerships, invest in education, and bring the most advanced global treatment technologies to Ukraine at the level of the best European clinics.
The Preserve and MIA (Minimal Invasive Augmentation) techniques are the most modern approaches in mammoplasty. Preserve provides for maximum preservation of breast tissue, while MIA allows for surgery without leaving scars on the breast itself and reduces recovery time to a minimum.
Founded in 2018, Lita Plus is a plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine clinic in Uzhhorod.
Its founder is plastic surgeon Sergey Derbak.
Among the declared areas of focus are plastic and reconstructive surgery (operations on the face, chest, and body), hardware and injection cosmetology, and, in particular, hair transplantation.
Law enforcement officials have notified a Kyiv resident of their suspicion that he built premises in the coastal zone of Lake Telbin without permits and leased them as a clinic, according to the Kyiv City Prosecutor’s Office.
“Under the procedural guidance of the Podil District Prosecutor’s Office of Kyiv, a resident of the capital has been notified of suspicion of unauthorized construction on an illegally occupied land plot,” the capital’s prosecutor’s office said in a statement on its Telegram channel on Wednesday.
It was established that a 63-year-old Kyiv resident, the director of a limited liability company, built a non-residential building attached to an existing building on a plot of land near Lake Telbin without any permits.
“He then leased the building to a private medical facility,” the prosecutor’s office said.
“The plot of land where the building was erected without permits is part of the coastal protection zone, where any construction is prohibited,” the statement said.

Ukrainian clinics performed 459 organ transplants between January and September 2025.
According to the Ukrainian Transplant Coordination Center (UTCC), the transplants were performed by 25 transplant centers, which performed 274 kidney transplants, 114 liver transplants, and 71 heart transplants.
Currently, there are 4,120 patients on the national waiting list, including 2,512 who need a kidney transplant, 727 who need a liver transplant, 729 who need a heart transplant, 57 for a lung transplant, 19 for a kidney-pancreas transplant, 33 for a split liver transplant, and 43 for a heart-lung transplant.
The top three leaders in organ transplants are the First Medical Association of Lviv (107), the O.O. Shalimov National Scientific Center for Surgery and Transplantology (70), and the Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 1 (58).
Heart transplants are performed in eight medical centers in the country, most of them at the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine (42).
Liver transplants are performed at eight healthcare facilities, with the most being performed at the Oberig Clinic (43).
Kidney transplants are performed at 21 facilities, with the most being performed at the First Medical Association of Lviv (76).

Lita Plus plastic surgery clinic relocated from Kiev region will open a plastic surgery clinic in Zakarpattya region, Lita Plus clinic founder Serhiy Derbak said.
“We moved the clinic to Uzhgorod together with the equipment and the team, which is 35 people. Our clinic was located in Irpen, and it was completely destroyed during the hostilities, so we simply had no place left to operate,” he said in an interview with the agency ‘Interfax-Ukraine’.
Derbak noted that after the aggressor destroyed a clinic in the Kiev region, “the decision to build a clinic in Uzhgorod was natural.”
“We saw another important factor – logistics for patients. I conducted a statistic: 80% of our patients today come from abroad. These are Ukrainians who left during the war, but return to Ukraine to receive medical services. That is why medical services will remain very important for Transcarpathia as a region. And that is why we have decided: we will build here,” he said.
Derbak noted that the clinic project will consist of two buildings – surgical and hospital.
“One building is a completely new surgical center with an area of 1000 square meters, equipped, in particular, and its own bunker – with all the necessary security elements, which, unfortunately, were very much needed in Bucha. The new clinic has already taken all these risks into account. Perhaps it is a consequence of traumatic experience, but I don’t want to experience something like that again. The second building is the reconstruction of the existing building for the hospital,” he said.
Derbak noted that “the surgical building is designed according to the highest standards: even open-heart surgeries can be performed there – with proper ventilation, air sterilization and all medical requirements”.
The next stage of the project’s development will be the opening of a large balneological department.
“We have already conducted two wells – to a depth of 1,200 and 800 meters – and have thermal rhodon water, which is ideal for treating scars. After the war, we plan to operate as a specialized plastic surgery clinic for patients with scar deformities. In addition, we will create a rehabilitation center for the military: we will combine surgical care, balneological treatment, physical rehabilitation after injuries, surgeries, burns and contractures,” he said.
Leading plastic surgeons from all over Ukraine gathered at the Breast Weekend 2.0 conference organized by Lita Plus clinic on the initiative of its founder, Sergey Derbak.
At the conference, which took place on April 26 in Uzhhorod, leading experts discussed, among other things, modern approaches to reconstruction after trauma and cancer, which is an extremely important area for Ukrainian medicine in the context of war and the ever-growing need to restore the quality of life of victims.
“Today, plastic and reconstructive surgery in Ukraine is reaching a new level. It is not only about restoring appearance, it is about restoring people’s faith in themselves, in life, in the future. And we, the medical community, must do everything possible to support our people and our country,” said Serhiy Derbak, founder of Lita Plus clinic and initiator of the conference.
Breast Weekend 2.0 has become not only a manifestation of support for the army, but also an important step for the development of plastic and reconstructive surgery in Ukraine, an industry that is now gaining new strategic importance and shaping the future of national medicine.
