Ukrainian healthcare is paralyzed, like the entire state - epidemiologist
A family member infected with coronavirus in Chernivtsi was hospitalized only because neighbors staged a protest, and this demonstrates the unpreparedness of government services for the spread of such infections.
The former chief sanitary doctor of Ukraine Svyatoslav Protas stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“As for the question of the readiness of the sanitary system of Ukraine for such cases, this is not worth commenting on. Both Sanzhary and Chernivtsi showed complete paralysis of not only the health care system, but also the public administration system as a whole.
The lack of coordinated actions leads to the fact that today the street replaces the healthcare system and forces the authorities to take measures that were once taken by the liquidated state sanitary and epidemiological service, ranging from quarantine measures to anti-epidemic measures.
Actually, thanks to the street yesterday in Chernivtsi, a contact person was isolated, who has a high probability of confirming a second case,” Protas concluded.
