What preceded

From January 1, 2025, medical and social expert commissions (MSEC) were liquidated in Ukraine. Instead, expert commissions formed in cluster and supracluster hospitals are now operating, and the concept of "medical and social expertise" is being replaced by the term "assessment of everyday human functioning".

This decision was preceded by the exposure of the head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional MSEC Tetyana Krupa. She is suspected of illegally enriching herself by millions of hryvnias in a case involving the illegal registration of disability for men.
