The Kyiv District Court of Odesa failed for the third consecutive time to continue the hearing of the criminal case against doctors of the private clinic Odrex, Vitalii Rusakov and Maryna Bielotserkovska. The next court session did not take place due to the absence of Vitalii Rusakov's lawyer, reports UNN.
The case concerns a criminal case against surgeon Vitalii Rusakov and oncologist Maryna Bielotserkovska, who are accused under Part 1 of Article 140 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – improper performance of professional duties by medical workers.
According to the investigation, after the surgery, the doctors may not have prescribed the necessary antibacterial therapy to their patient Adnan Kivan and may have inadequately responded to postoperative complications. According to the conclusions of the forensic medical examination, this could have led to the development of sepsis and death.
Over the past 2 weeks, this is already the third court session that did not take place due to the absence of the defense lawyer.
Reminder
Earlier, the accused surgeon Vitalii Rusakov publicly criticized the presiding judge Viktor Chaplytskyi for allegedly high pace of the case review. According to the accused, hearings in his case should be scheduled no more than once a month.
