Hospitals in the occupied territories refuse to serve Ukrainians

The Center of National Resistance reports a difficult situation with medical services in the temporarily occupied territories of eastern Ukraine. Local hospitals refuse to accept citizens for assistance, as they are focused on treating wounded military personnel. The population has to find hospitals on their own where they will be admitted.

This creates additional difficulties for civilians who are already suffering from a lack of resources and medical supplies under occupation. The humanitarian crisis in the region deepens, and basic human rights to medical care are violated.

«In this way, the enemy does not fulfill the main requirement of international law towards occupants – ensuring the region's viability, and also places military personnel in civilian hospitals», reports the Center of National Resistance.

This situation is a consequence of the capture of the Pokrovsky district and the advancement of occupants near other settlements of Donetsk region. In the south of Ukraine, more active actions of Russian troops are expected, as they plan to cut logistical routes to the eastern front.

The Ministry of Health has received many complaints about the work of medical and social expert commissions, so their reform is planned.
