The Ministry of Health conducted an unscheduled inspection of one of the LLCs of the Odrex clinic, which is involved in criminal cases regarding the death of businessman Adnan Kivan. Despite the high-profile scandal surrounding the clinic, Odrex can continue to operate thanks to other LLCs and licenses issued to them.
