Nearly 5 Million Hryvnias Earned by Family of Regional Governor from CT Scans—Despite Hospital Owning Its Own Machines

Сім’я губернатора регіону отримала майже 5 мільйонів гривень завдяки КТ-дослідженням, незважаючи на наявність власних апаратів у лікарні.

Contract Signed with Private CT Center

Zaporizhzhia Regional Clinical Hospital awarded a 2.51 million hryvnia contract for computed tomography (CT) diagnostic services to a private firm called the Center for Computed Tomography. The business is owned by Serhiy and Natalia Fedorov, the parents of Ivan Fedorov, who serves as the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration (RSA). Despite the hospital already possessing three CT scanners of its own, it leased space to the company through an intermediary at a reduced rate.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the Center for Computed Tomography has received nearly 5 million hryvnia in orders from the Zaporizhzhia Regional Clinical Hospital. In November 2024, the company Scan-Medservice requested a lease for 58.7 square meters of hospital property. Ivan Fedorov personally signed the order approving the transfer of this space to the company.

Auctions and Subleases

An auction held in May 2025 had only one bidder—Scan-Medservice—which secured the space for 22,900 hryvnia per month. In September 2025, RSA Deputy Head Ruslan Movchan authorized the sublease of the premises. The space was then subleased to the Center for Computed Tomography at a monthly rate of 19,100 hryvnia.

The private enterprise Center for Computed Tomography was founded in 2008 in Melitopol. Its founders are Serhiy and Ivan Fedorov. In February 2024, Ivan Fedorov was appointed head of the Zaporizhzhia RSA. In March 2022, he was abducted by Russian occupation forces and later exchanged for nine prisoners. In January 2026, Ivan Fedorov’s brother, Oleksandr Fedorov, became the director of Zaporizhzhia’s emergency and urgent care hospital.

These contract and property lease arrangements have sparked public debate. The press service of the Zaporizhzhia RSA commented on the situation, describing it as a private matter.

This situation highlights the need for transparency in public procurement and state property leasing, especially when entities linked to high-ranking officials are involved.

At a time when the public is concerned about corruption and abuse of power, such deals raise additional questions about the ethics and legality of officials’ actions. Discussions surrounding this case could serve as a catalyst for further reforms in the management of state resources.
