Famous pediatrician Evgeny Komarovsky criticized the Ukrainian authorities for inaction in the issue of health care reform.
His position was unveiled in the form of an emotional letter on his Facebook page.
"Another letter in the void. The voice of the blatant. You do not want to stop the process of self-destruction. Every morning I read scraps from hell.
- As in the chamber of 14 square meters. M 6 children and 6 mom.
- As they rush into the waiting room - they are looking for a doctor to help a dying young guy who crashed on a motorcycle.
- How to look for painkillers - mom screams, bowel cancer.
- For tying the strap to the bed (to help myself to sit down after a stroke) - 100 UAH. It's in the paid room, which differs from free only because there are only 4 bunks, not 10.
- "We do not know whether a rabid dog is mad or not," but we still do not have a vaccine. Get it - we'll prick it.
- Half of the papers from the laboratory give rise to doubt the veracity of the results.
- Pharmacology - the realm of fuflomycins and falsifiers. Rare, adequately working medicines are like a ray of light in a deep well, "he wrote.
Komarovsky stressed that he had previously predicted an outbreak of measles in Ukraine, recalling the problem of a deficit of antidiphtheria serum in the country.
"You are not from this world? Do you think that this will not concern you? Every 3rd of you will die of cancer. And you will scream, begging for pain medication. And whine, and think - but why did I keep silent, when it did not hurt? "- he wrote.
"Some people, still trembling, prepare bills for medical reform. I am not a reformer or organizer of health care. I'm not saying that these projects are good / bad. I want the state people to review them and either accept them or say: it's no good, you have to redo it! And immediately engaged in redoing, as time goes by, and with the passing of time people's lives are gone, "the doctor emphasized..
According to Komarovsky, politicians "do not want to consider health care reform at all".
"They persistently come up with more and more prohibitions and continue to plague people. They are deeply convinced that these bans are urgent, and health care reforms can wait, "he said..
According to the doctor, our entire health care system is "this violence over human dignity".
"Once again I appeal to the deputies: come to your senses, it's not too late! Even the patient patience has a border. Even the most sophisticated mockery has a limit, "Komarovsky stressed..
As reported by the "Observer", the government planned to carry out in 2017 a massive reform of the health system, which implies a transition to a completely different principles of work. For this, the Verkhovna Rada should adopt a package of laws, including the Law on State Financial Guarantees for the Provision of Medical Services and Medicines, which regulates reform. However, most initiatives have not yet been considered by Parliament.
