Healthcare facilities in Kherson are staffed with medical professionals at 50%.
This was reported on air by the head of the Kherson Military-Civil Administration Yaroslav Shanko.
According to him, the city lacks narrowly specialized specialists — rehabilitation specialists, anesthesiologists, neurologists, surgeons, and so on.
“All of this is related to the security factor, as young doctors do not want to do internships in Kherson under conditions of constant danger and constant shelling,” he said.
Recall, at the beginning of the year funding for emergency medical assistance was increased in Kherson Oblast. The overall funding of the sector in the region increased by UAH 39.9 million and now amounts to UAH 137.6 million.
