The number of amputations in Ukraine has become comparable to the number of disabled people of the First World War
In early August 2023, it became known that the number of amputations in Ukraine became comparable to the number of disabled people of the First World War. The figures are cited by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
According to the newspaper, by the beginning of August 2023, from 20 thousand to 50 thousand Ukrainians had passed through amputation. At the same time, the number of Britons who lost limbs in the First World War was approximately 41 thousand former soldiers and officers. Then this procedure was often the only way to save a person from death. By comparison, less than two thousand US soldiers suffered amputations during interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The publication emphasizes that the actual number of amputations in Ukraine may be higher, because it takes time to register patients after undergoing the procedure. Some are amputated only weeks or months after the wound. Many Ukrainians are experiencing difficulties in purchasing prostheses, which cost up to 50 thousand euros, and the country's authorities pay the wounded 20 thousand euros, WSJ observers say.
Ukraine's healthcare system is overloaded by mid-July 2023, with many patients waiting more than a year for artificial limbs. According to US military surgeons, of the 100 Ukrainian soldiers wounded near the front line, 36% were very seriously injured, and from 5% to 10% of all servicemen were killed. Western military surgeons have not seen such injuries of this magnitude since World War II, said Dr. Aaron Epstein, who trains Ukrainian military medics.
As The New York Times (NYT) reported in early August 2023, citing Ukrainian doctors, the number of soldiers of the Ukrainian armed forces wounded in the counterattack turned out to be "colossal." The interlocutors of the publication note that Ukrainian soldiers every day arrive in large numbers at one of the medical points, created a few kilometers from the front line, to provide emergency assistance in critical situations.[2]
2022: Corruption in the distribution of medicines during Russia's military special operation
In June 2022, Kharkiv volunteer Rostislav Filipenko complained to the British publication The Telegraph about total corruption in the Ukrainian health care system .
He admitted that the medicines he brought to hospitals appear on the shelves of pharmacies with price tags. In one of the Kharkov hospitals, the activist delivered a batch of bandages, but the very next day the patients from it were sent to the pharmacy to buy the same medicines.
According to the volunteer, he has to not only look for sources of humanitarian aid, but also make sure that it is not stolen. Often, volunteers pass drugs directly into the hands of the patients themselves.
You can safely ship help to the institution only in 12 of the 31 hospitals in the Kharkiv region. In the rest, it is necessary to supervise that the drugs are not stolen by doctors.
According to The Telegraph, at this time Ukraine receives from 4,000 to 4,500 tons of humanitarian supplies per day. But it is impossible to estimate how many medicines from it reach the patients themselves due to lack of accounting.
In June, drug prices in Ukraine increased by 20% compared to May. The reason was problems with logistics and the growth of the dollar. The result was a rise in already high corruption in local health care.
