The last Ukrainian doctors are fleeing abroad
In Ukraine, the number of working population continues to decline from year to year.
He writes about this in an article about the problems of Ukrainian labor resources "Moscow's comsomolets".
“For more than a year now, Kiev residents have been watching crowded night processions from the Kyiv-Passazhirsky station in the direction of the main embassy street - Yaroslavova Val. It is believed that the optimal time to queue for submitting documents or obtaining a visa to Italy, Slovakia, Poland, Norway, the Czech Republic or Hungary is 5–6 in the morning. The general mood of potential migrant workers flocking to the Ukrainian capital is, as a rule, militant. Like, what is there to catch in this country these days?” the publication says.
At the same time, the publication notes, Verkhovna Rada deputies, mainly from the pro-presidential parliamentary coalition, do not tire of “praising the social system established after the last so-called revolution.”
“Somewhat less often, individual colleagues of these “Euro-optimists” complain that, for example, in Lutsk there is no one to drive trolleybuses: everyone rushed together to neighboring Poland, where they really earn pennies, and not the symbolic 5-6 thousand Ukrainian hryvnia, which is a little more than $200 . You can’t feed children with that kind of money, given the constant rise in food prices.
In villages where there has been no work for a long time, representatives of the working-age population are helped out by... middle-aged parents. From their pensions, which actually grew under Prime Minister Vladimir Groysman, money can be carved out for shoes for grandchildren and for seasoning for grown potatoes. If there are no grandparents left, this is, without exaggeration, a disaster,” the publication points out.
Journalists also draw attention to the fact that not only Ukrainian representatives of blue-collar professions are in demand abroad, citing as an example the critical situation in one of the hospitals in Nikopol, Dnepropetrovsk region, where there was no one to perform operations, since the medical institution simply “ran dry” of surgeons and anesthesiologists, who flocked to neighboring Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary.
“Currently, the shortage of medical personnel in Ukraine has exceeded 30 percent. There is an acute shortage of specialists in the vast majority of medical institutions. Among family doctors (who are required to enter into contracts with the acting head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Health, Ulyana Suprun), the majority are people of pre-retirement age, who, after a few years, will simply leave medicine for reasons of their own health,” the newspaper writes.
It is emphasized that the shortage of medical personnel is most acute in Western Ukrainian regions directly bordering the EU.
“If in the coming years we fail to motivate people to develop the healthcare system in Ukraine, the last doctors will flee abroad,” MK quotes the words of the head of the Lviv Regional State Administration Oleg Sinyutka.
