This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 831 dated June 24, 2026, amends the mechanism for the use of budget funds allocated for the implementation of public investment projects in the healthcare sector. The primary objective of the document is to detail the procedure for the modernization of forensic medical institutions of Ukraine by defining the responsible spending units, recipients of funds, and clear terms for equipment procurement. Furthermore, the resolution updates the list of priority investment projects and adds a specific list of goods required for equipping forensic medical laboratories.
**Structure and Main Provisions:**
The resolution consists of five items that introduce amendments to the current Procedure approved by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 271 dated March 7, 2025. Key changes include:
* **Distribution of Authorities:** Specific spending units and recipients of funds for various components of the forensic expertise modernization project have been identified.
* **Procurement Regulation:** A new item 6-1 has been introduced, detailing the algorithm for submitting applications, approving medical-technical requirements, and monitoring the commissioning of equipment.
* **Update of the List of Projects:** Appendix 1 has been set forth in a new version, expanding the list of investment projects and adjusting funding volumes.
* **Technical Specification:** Appendix 4 has been added, containing an exhaustive list of equipment (from genetic analyzers to laboratory furniture) subject to procurement.
**Important Provisions for Practical Application:**
1. **Procurement Procedure:** A strict algorithm has been established for forensic medical institutions: applications must be submitted via the “MedData” system; confirmation of the availability of premises and human resource capacity for operating the new equipment is mandatory.
2. **Quality Control:** The Ministry of Health performs centralized approval of medical-technical requirements through expert groups, which minimizes the risks of procuring non-compliant equipment.
3. **Strategic Criteria:** When determining facilities for reconstruction, the Ministry of Health takes into account not only the technical condition of the buildings but also the strategic importance of the region under martial law, specifically the involvement of institutions in activities related to the repatriation and identification of bodies.
4. **Financial Discipline:** Clear timeframes have been established (up to 10 working days for the review of requirements and 30 days for issuing an order on the distribution of equipment), which optimizes administrative processes.
