A court in the Lviv region has sentenced a narcologist, Sergey Likhovid, from the Central City Hospital of Brody, to probation for forging medical documents and illegally selling narcotics. The investigation revealed that Likhovid had issued fake prescriptions for controlled substances, which he sold through intermediaries while using official hospital stationery. He is now awaiting further legal proceedings.
In a significant legal development, Likhovid was found guilty of issuing counterfeit prescriptions for controlled substances. The investigation into his practices uncovered that he was not only falsifying prescriptions but also engaged in the sale of these drugs through intermediaries.

Authorities have expressed concern over the implications of such activities on public health and safety. The case has sparked discussions regarding the stringent enforcement of regulations in the medical field, particularly concerning the prescribing of narcotics.
Likhovid is currently awaiting further legal proceedings, as the case may have implications for other staff members and the hospital itself. The medical community is closely monitoring the situation, recognizing the necessity for accountability and transparency within the healthcare system to prevent similar incidents in the future.
