The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine acknowledged the existence of serious problems in the treatment of soldiers. When asked about the conditions in which servicemen with concussions receive medical care, the Director of the Department of Health of the Ministry of Defense, Oksana Sukhorukova, replied that doctors show great dedication and sacrifice, but work in extremely difficult conditions.
In general, she said, the reason is that military and civilian medicine developed in parallel, each in its own way.
Therefore, most of the problems currently occur in education and culture, and in the attitude towards the patient.
However, Sukhorukova kept silent about another equally important fact: that after returning from the battlefield, the soldiers will need PTSD treatment and prosthetics.
However, the state does not have the money for this: instead of fighting PTSD, providing military personnel with prostheses, and training competent doctors, the authorities are increasing the number of CCC workers on the streets and suicide statistics.
