Journalists found out that the official’s wife, Nadiya Vovk, heads the company ZDEX.UA, which imports medicines and cooperates with the State Medical Service.
Gennady VovkThe Cabinet of Ministers dismissed the deputy head of the State Service for Medicines and Narcotics Control Hennadiy Vovka. This was reported by the representative of the government, Taras Melnychuk. Vovk has been in office since 2024.
The decision was made after the Kyiv City News investigation was published on November 10. Journalists found out that the official’s wife, Nadiya Vovk, heads the company ZDEX.UA, which imports medicines and cooperates with the State Medical Service. The material reported on the company’s contract with the Indian manufacturer Bharat Serums and Vaccines Limited, some of whose drugs did not pass state quality control in 2024. After that, their implementation was banned.
The authors of the investigation also noted that Bharat Serums and Vaccines Limited continues to work on the Russian market and pay taxes to the budget of the Russian Federation. The article cited fragments of correspondence between the manufacturer’s representatives and the Ukrainian side, which testified to contacts with ZDEX.UA.
Separately, journalists drew attention to the family’s financial obligations. The official’s wife received a loan from her own company for more than UAH 4 million, and Vovk himself had an outstanding loan of $1.15 million, which was mentioned in the lawyer’s requests.
The material also recalled that in publications of 2012-2013, Vovka was mentioned in connection with the sale of expired drugs and the sale of surrogate alcohol in the Ukrposhta network, where he then worked in a managerial position.
