Independent members representing the public will be elected to the supervisory boards of three municipal hospitals in Mykolaiv. The Mykolaiv City Council announced the start of the competition. These board members will take part in the boards’ work without influence from the hospitals’ management or their owner.

• City Hospital No. 3 — 97 Kosmonavtiv Street;
• City Hospital No. 4 — 7 Mala Morska Street;
• City Hospital No. 5 — 336 Bohoyavlenskyi Avenue.

The City Council has already approved the establishment of supervisory boards at these hospitals. This is necessary for cluster hospitals to be able to sign contracts with the National Health Service of Ukraine starting in 2027.

Candidates may also submit references and other documents confirming their professional experience.
