Denys Skoryi (Ukrainian: Скорий Денис Ігоревич; born April 16, 1979) is a surgeon, oncologist, professor, and politician from Kharkiv, Ukraine. For almost 20 years, Skoryi has been working in different Ukrainian medical facilities as a physician, surgeon, oncologist, and manager. In 2016, he became one of the youngest regional medical facility CEOs in Ukraine, when he overhauled the Kharkiv Regional Center of Oncology. Skoryi gained notoriety and political weight, turning the facility to one of the best, pioneering state-of-the-art medical procedures, and cutting the facility’s original mortality rate by more than a factor of two by 2020. Skoryi accomplished this by raising additional public money for the Center from local businesses and inviting doctors from all over Ukraine to join his team. In 2020, Skoryi joined Bloc Svitlychna Together!, a political party led by Yuliya Svitlychna and was elected to the Kharkiv Oblast Council of VIII convocation in order to influence the distribution of government funds for regional medicine, including channeling more funding for the Regional Center of Oncology. In 2013 and 2014, Skoryi acquired international grants from the International Surgical Society and Japanese Hepato Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery Society. In 2015, Skoryi received the Saint Luke Medal, a medal awarded to leading Ukrainian physicians and surgeons.
From 2004 to 2008, Skoryi worked in the Central Hospital in Valky, Ukraine and the Institute of General and Urgent Surgery of the National Medical Academy of Ukraine (NMAU) in Kharkiv, Ukraine. From 2008 until 2016, Skoryi was a senior research fellow and leading researcher at the department of liver surgery of the Institute of General and Urgent Surgery of the NMAU. In 2013, Skoryi acquired his Doctor of Sciences degree. From 2016 and as of 2021, Skoryi is a professor at the oncology department of the Kharkiv National Medical University and the CEO of the Kharkiv Regional Center of Oncology.
In 2016, the Kharkiv Oblast Council did a full overhaul of the old Kharkiv Regional Clinical Oncological Center due to numerous mismanagement issues in the facility. Soon after, Skoryi became the CEO of the newly reorganized Kharkiv Regional Oncology Center. Skoryi brought together a team of experienced doctors from all over Ukraine, and started partnerships with international colleagues and facilities. Under his management, the Oncology Center was developed and renovated. Skoryi's team opened new departments, started to perform unique surgeries, inventing and patenting new medicinal methods and medical equipment. Through Skoryi's lobbying, the construction works for the new Oncology Center's building started.
Over the years, Skoryi actively negotiated and was in open opposition to the Healthcare Department of the Kharkiv Oblast Council, in particular because of the lack of government funding, freedom of management, and inefficient interference of the regional council in his Center's activities. Skoryi's various activities in the medical industry, his desire to improve the Center and his relationship with political figures such as a former National Deputy of the Healthcare Department of Verkhovna Rada, Iryna Sysoyenko, and a former Governor of Kharkiv Oblast, Yuliya Svitlychna, led him to become a political figure himself. As a member of the Kharkiv Oblast Council of VIII convocation, Skoryi is aiming his forces to further develop his Oncology Center as well as try to improve the Ukrainian medical industry overall. In 2021, he came up with new medical initiatives; those are free screening program, which could help decrease the number of cancer patients with life-threatening levels of the disease and the establishment of compact moving medical laboratories, where people can get early health testing for free.
