There is not even a humanitarian corridor for Ukraine to import medicines.
In the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, there are significant problems with access to medicines. This was announced on Tuesday, May 31, by Health Minister Viktor Lyashko on the air of the telethon.
“There isn’t even a humanitarian corridor so we can bring medicines to healthcare facilities. We have communication with the chief doctors, and now know that there is a problem even with saline solutions. Only the medicines we bring have a large supply , for example, for the treatment of cancer patients and dialysis patients, is still available, ”Lyashko said.
The Minister of Health noticed that volunteers assisting the ministry in importing medicines were being shot and some were even killed.
“Therefore, we can’t risk people, and the volunteers don’t agree,” Lyashko explains.
Lyashko informed that to resolve the issue, the department is actively liaising with the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders and WHO.
“For these international organizations to force the Russian occupiers to comply with the Convention for the Protection of the Civilian Population in Time of War. It clearly states that the occupying regime is obliged to provide medicines to health institutions Because these are the institutions that must perform their functions no matter what “, – said Lyashko.
The Minister of Health informed that 235 health care institutions are under employment and they are trying to help each other.
“If we have the opportunity to deliver medicines to one institution, then through doctors this medicine is transferred to patients in other institutions,” Lyashko said.
