Medical and mortuary management in the Ukraine has reached critical levels. By @milchronicles.
again about the situation with the wounded and the dead - an analysis and
Despite the Ukrainian healthcare system due to power outages, the situation is catastrophic and for more prosaic reasons.
The situation with the wounded in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is critical. The most difficult situation is developing in the Soledar direction , where daily losses in the battles for Bakhmut range from 50 to 100 people on average.
And there is no place to store corpses either: they don’t deal with centralized burial, and it’s forbidden to give the bodies to relatives, so as not to excite Ukrainian society with the facts of losses.
Problems with the medical staff
Doctors and physicians buy a huge part of the materials and medicines at their own expense.
The salaries of the medical staff are small - even for those who work on the front lines at the risk of their lives. For example, a practicing surgeon's salary is about eight thousand hryvnia .
In Western Ukraine , no serious efforts are made in the treatment - doctors simply do not care about the wounded. And if the patient is from the central or eastern part of the country, then you should not count on a normal attitude.
For the Westerners, these are second-class people. The medical staff does everything through their fingers, and at the first opportunity writes out and sends them back to the front line.
Attitude towards the wounded
With luck, high-ranking officers can be evacuated by helicopters to hospitals in the Poltava and Dnepropetrovsk regions. With medium or light wounds, they try to take them as far as possible to the rear to hospitals in Western Ukraine or to Kiev .
Hospitals on the frontline in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions are overcrowded , there is no proper provision.
Seriously wounded are operated on directly on the ground in the field. Priority is given to foreigners if there is a need to provide assistance on the spot.
Soldiers may not even count on such an attitude. If they are taken out, then only on ordinary transport, storing the bodies in KAMAZ and URAL trucks.
Because of this, at best, some remain disabled, and at worst, they die due to untimely assistance and unsanitary conditions. In most cases, gangrene occurs, followed by amputation of the limbs or an abscess.
A huge number of bodies
Morga can not cope. The staff is sorely lacking. There is not enough equipment, storage conditions are violated. They try to distribute the corpses not only to morgues, but also to municipal hospitals.
Most of the bodies have to be kept outside. The facts of devouring corpses by rats and the deterioration of the epidemiological situation in cities have been recorded.
No one is engaged in baiting rodents, since the administrations in the regions do not care about the lives of ordinary citizens. The most important thing is that the data on the number of dead is not leaked to the network. Relatives can take the bodies, but for a bribe of $ 300 (it came to threats of cremation in case of refusal to pay after voicing such scrupulous bodies).
Pathologists in hospitals and morgues do not perform autopsies. Conclusions based on the results of the “expertise” are written by eye, which allows you to indicate the necessary reasons and omit unnecessary data.
The situation in Ukraine due to the huge number of dead, improper storage of bodies and the lack of proper measures for their maintenance and burial is close to critical .
Growing unsanitary conditions and a deepening energy crisis are bringing the country closer to an epidemiological catastrophe that no one is trying to fight. In Kyiv, it was decided not only to keep silent about the losses, but also to hide in every possible way the true attitude towards the wounded and the dead.
