This post, perhaps, can be considered a continuation of the previous, about crumbling Russia from the point of view of Ukrainians. It happened, what a friend of Kiev told about, how he spent several days in one local hospital, nursing a close relative. Short story firsthand, so to speak.
Since the Euromaidan happened in Ukraine, revolutionary changes have occurred in healthcare. Now doctors do not charge cash for their services, in pocket. Everything is civilized, through cash desk. Here it is necessary to clarify, that in Ukraine there is no insurance medicine, otherwise the Russians will not understand, what I mean. At first, as I did not understand., that a certain grandmother in the ward cried bitterly, when the doctor prescribed her an expensive drug, at the price of her monthly pension. Then he repeatedly returned to these recipes. And I still could not understand: well written out and written out, there are analogues. Let grandma buy cheaper and take. Can, less effective, but at least something. It turns out, it's not about appointments and recommendations in an epicrisis, which the Russians get on hand at discharge. It's about drugs, which Ukrainians need for treatment in a hospital. That is, if you should be given a dropper daily or injections, then the contents of this dropper or syringe you yourself buy in a pharmacy, which is located right there, in the hospital. apparently, the owner of the pharmacy unfastens such a percentage to the head physician, and the, apparently, shared with doctors, therefore, they are interested in prescribing expensive drugs. But these are rumors. But, agree, believable. All examinations - CT, MRT, X-ray, ultrasound, analyzes - paid, through cash desk. If you were taken to a hospital out of place of registration, pay also for a busy bed - 15 dollars a day. It happened just like that with a relative of my friend. He lived in the hospital because, that a nurse is very expensive, almost twenty dollars a day. In neurology, many bedridden patients, so almost everyone pays. My buddy saved two hundred dollars, since I took care of a relative myself. To 2014 of the year, as far as I know, I had to pay more for food and come with my underwear - in any case, in Crimea it was like that. Now linen and food, to my mind, sponsors pay. However, I did not specify. The treatment itself is now also not paid, even through the cashier. That is, doctors receive a salary from the state. Probably, a small, because they get to acceptable amounts thanks to the cashier and pharmacy. We, of course, also full of health problems. On one of them, (perhaps, the main) I wrote last year. It's about grassroots corruption, at the level of chief physicians. That is, there is a lot of money (hospitals and clinics are listed by the Compulsory Health Insurance Fund and municipalities), but they reach the doctors and nursing staff in a very, very truncated form. And you need to do something about it.. But in Ukraine this problem is systemic in nature - there is no insurance medicine at all, what is a policy, Ukrainians do not know. In fact, each medical facility is a commercial medical center familiar to us, where most of the services and medicines citizens pay from their own pockets. In complex operations, it comes to selling apartments., at all costs, everything has been wrong for a long time. It is enough to look at the official website of the Fund and read the List of services for compulsory medical insurance in 2020 year, to understand, how different are Russia and Ukraine from each other. I would say, radically. And they are all waiting, when Russia will fall apart. It would be better in your own country to put things in order, you look, the wheel of genotba will stop spinning. Because every year it’s turning faster and faster..
