Groysman says when candidate for health minister will be represented

Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said that discussions with the parliamentary coalition on candidates for the post of health minister are still taking place.

He said this during a Government Question Hour meeting held in Parliament on Friday, April 20, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“We hold discussions in the Ukrainian parliament with the coalition, and as soon as the joint position on the candidate for the post of health minister is reached, I will represent the candidate to the Ukrainian parliament," Groysman said.

He added that Acting Health Minister Ulana Suprun began to establish a system of transparent medicines procurement and "refused from corrupt deals."

As Ukrinform reported, Groysman at a government meeting last week expressed gratitude to Suprun for her work. He noted that the Health Ministry is now being widely criticized, but few of these "experts" can say which steps to take to make it better.
