A special commission will study the situation around the Volyn Regional Mother and Child Sanatorium “Turia”

For the past three years, the staff of the "Turiya" mother and child sanatorium in Kovel has been in turmoil. Several directors have changed, and complaints about violations of financial and economic activity and tactless behavior by the directors continued to arrive at the regional council from the labor collective.

As reported by the press service of the Volyn Regional Council, by order of the head of the regional council Vasyl Dmytruk, an independent commission was created, which included representatives of regulatory bodies and employees of the council's executive apparatus. During the inspection of the sanatorium's financial and economic activity, no violations of legislation were found. On the contrary, recently the debts accumulated over recent years have been reduced, and 2004 was completed with a profit of over 200 thousand hryvnias. This is attributed to the skillful management of acting director Nelia Muzychuk.

To clarify all the circumstances and the collective's opinion, deputies of the regional council — members of the standing commission on health care, motherhood and childhood, deputy heads of the regional council Vasyl Struk and Volodymyr Banada, deputy head of the regional state administration Volodymyr Karpuk, and representatives of local authorities — arrived at the meeting with the staff of the regional mother and child sanatorium "Turiya." Speeches by representatives of the collective were heard. There were negative remarks, but the overwhelming majority of employees spoke positively about the current management. Many good deeds accomplished over the past ten months, when Muzychuk became acting director, were mentioned. These include repairs of premises and the purchase of medical equipment, refrigerators and televisions. 90 (out of 120) employees present at the meeting expressed a desire to determine the candidate for director of the "Turiya" sanatorium by vote. An absolute majority voted "for" the appointment of Nelia Muzychuk as head.

The deputies of the regional council — members of the standing commission on health care, motherhood and childhood — decided to recommend that the session of the regional council approve the candidacy of Nelia Muzychuk for the position of director of the regional mother and child sanatorium "Turiya."
