In Crimea, a humanitarian crisis due to the coronavirus epidemic
Seriously ill patients are denied hospitalization due to lack of places in hospitals, there are not enough doctors, they wait for an ambulance until 3:00 p.m. and there are no basic medicines in pharmacies.
In annexed Crimea, critical situation with the coronavirus epidemic. This was reported by the representative office of the President of Ukraine in Crimea on Sunday, October 25.
Contrary to the policy of the Russian “authorities” to suppress freedom of expression and the free flow of information on the peninsula, the presidential office identified the most complex challenges associated with the pandemic in the region:
-
lack of beds in hospitals for the treatment of patients with COVID-19, refusal to hospitalize even seriously ill patients;
-
transferring COVID-19 patients from hospitals to sanatoriums, where patients are left without medical supervision;
-
the inability to undergo a medical examination and / or tests at will;
-
lack of access to ambulance (the arrival time of an ambulance reaches 15 hours);
-
the lack of essential drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 in pharmacies, which makes it impossible to treat at home;
-
distortion of disease statistics by occupation administrations and artificial regulation of statistics due to limited access to tests;
-
lack of objective information and public awareness of the risks associated with COVID-19;
-
lack of adequate control over compliance with the rules for the use of personal protective equipment and quarantine measures in public places and places of mass gathering of people, and the like.
The office of the President of Ukraine condemned the actions of the so-called “authorities” in Crimea, noting that it is necessary to respond to the challenges associated with the humanitarian crisis caused by the epidemic on the peninsula.
It was previously reported that Donetsk is not coping with the wave of the COVID-19 epidemic. There are more than a hundred people in the hospitalization queue, but there are no more places in the hospitals. An ambulance comes to the call around five o’clock.
