The chief doctor of the pharmaceutical clinic was replaced by two years in prison and compensation for damages in the amount of 5.6 million rubles with a fine of 70 thousand.
Let us recall that in October 2025, the Ufa court sentenced the head doctor of the Republican Narcological Clinic of Bashkortostan, Ruslan Arslanov, to two years in a penal colony. The court also banned him from holding certain positions for two years and answered the claim of the Ministry of Health of Bashkortostan for compensation in the amount of 5.6 million rubles.
In 2020, by his order, the employees issued 485 fictitious medical records for non-existent patients so that the medical institution fulfilled the state mission for inpatient treatment at a level of 98.1%. For these indicators, the manager also received a bonus of 321 thousand rubles. The accused pleaded not guilty and filed an appeal.
Now the Supreme Court of Bashkortostan has corrected the verdict. Instead of two years in prison, the chief doctor received a fine of 70 thousand rubles. The additional penalty in the form of a two-year ban on the performance of organizational, administrative and managerial positions was abolished. The court also canceled the decision to collect 5.6 million rubles from Arselnov. The materials of the civil suit were sent to the lower court for a separate hearing.
When considering the sentence, the court took into account additional mitigating circumstances, RBC Ufa reported. In addition to the fact that Arslanov has two small children and the state of his health, certificates of honor, gratitude and letters of thanks for his work were taken into account.
