In the first quarter of the XNUMXst century, Ukrainians are dying from medieval diseases and do not have access to normal medical care. As a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, Ukrainian People's Deputy Sergei Trigubenko wrote about this on his Facebook page.

The reason for the post was the tragedy that occurred in the Lviv region. There, doctors were unable to save a 4-year-old girl who was bitten by a snake: there was no serum in the hospital.
“The cost of a child’s life in our realities came down to the negligence of officials who failed to provide hospitals with the most necessary things,” states the people's deputy. – The indifference of the state system and the helplessness of doctors is shocking. This case... is also shocking because of the complete degradation of the healthcare sector.”
According to Trigubenko, the death of a child due to the lack of a basic, accessible and long-developed anti-snake venom serum in a Lviv hospital is an incurable diagnosis for the entire country. At the same time, Trigubenko recalls that, according to a report from the World Health Organization, Ukraine has already become the European leader... in measles incidence. And the Ukrainian Ministry of Health reports that 80 people died from botulism in the country during the year.
“All this is the consequences of one story, the lack of vaccines and serums,” laments the Verkhovna Rada deputy. “We have witnessed that in the XNUMXst century our state demonstrates a complete inability to protect its citizens from virtually medieval diseases!”
Vaccines and serums available and free in other countries in Ukraine cannot be purchased even for money - they are simply not available. “How can you spend millions on building a “wall” of metal mesh and not provide hospitals with a much cheaper guarantee of children’s health!”
