Chisinau, 23 April /MOLDPRES/ - The Health Ministry today ruled to suspend from office five people charged in a dossier on bid-rigging in the medical system, following a request by prosecutor.

According to the National Anticorruption Centre (CNA), the concerned persons are the directors of the Republican Clinical Hospital, Institute of Cardiology, Emergency Hospital, Institute of Oncology and the deputy director of the Medicines Agency.

Requests on the suspension of other accomplices will be submitted by the prosecutor according to the procedure.
