2 weeks ago i had to fly to Ukraine to visit my grandfather who was hospitalized...
i'm still under huge impression
first of all, the hospital looked way better than this one on the picture.
it was a brand new building, looking very mordern inside & outside
(though it's just a free public hospital in a small town with approx. 50k people)
my grandfather is a ww2 veteran and they have very comfortable
private & semi-private hospital rooms for veterans
but other than that there is nothing else good I can say about Ukranian medicine.
1) staying at the hospital is free (or almost free) but you need to pay for medication
(and with an average salary of $200-300 it's a problem for most of people)
2) equipment is terribly outdated. wish they invested the money in the equipment not the building,
would be much more useful.
3) the doctors are the WORST of the worst and this refers not only to this particular hospital
but to other hospitals too. Finding a good specialist is a pain in the ass
and usually even a good specialist is years behind the technology
i even don't know what's easier - survive in a typical Ukranian hospital or survive
in the street
