뉴욕타임스에 따르면 자포리자주 최전선서
몇마일내에 있는 우크라이나군 야전 응급센터에
부상자 25분내 도착이 골든타임이지만 러시아군
대량 포격이 빈번해서 몇시간 동안 응급센터로
후송 못 시키기 일쑤랍니다.
러시아 미사일이 응급센터 타격한 적도 있어서
수술진이 적색조명 켜고 밤에만 수술한다네요.
7월 마지막주엔 취재한 응급센터 하나에 하루
부상자 70명이 들어왔다 하구요.
우크라이나 군의관이 군에 의사와 간호사가
부족하다 했습니다.
한편, 7월말에 우크라이나 간호사 단체가
수개월간 급여 미지급에 대해 우크라이나
보건부장관에게 대화 요청했으나 보건부
건물에 들어가지도 못 했다네요.
그리고, 키이우 시립병원 의사, 간호사들이
법정 최저봉급을 6월 까지 몇달째 못 받았답니다.
Under Fire and Understaffed: The Fight to Save Ukraine’s Wounded
2023.08.02
Wounded just 40 minutes earlier on Ukraine’s southern
front in the Zaporizhzhia region, the soldiers from the
110th Brigade had arrived at a stabilization point, one
of a dozen medical stations set up by the Ukrainian Army
within a few miles of the front line to ensure critical, lifesaving care.
Positioned close to the front lines, the stabilization points,
temporary medical posts where patients are stabilized for
onward evacuation, have been receiving a constant inflow
of soldiers wounded in the fighting.
The numbers have been “colossal,” said a medic from the
center where the three men from the 110th Brigade were treated.
The aim is to ensure that each wounded soldier receives a high
level of care within as little as 25 minutes of the injury in order
to save lives, he said. It is not always possible.
A combat medic on the front line quickly administers first aid,
but Russian artillery fire is often so intense that sometimes units
cannot evacuate the wounded for hours, medics said.
The ambulances that transport soldiers to the stabilization points
frequently come under fire as well, and soldiers sometimes have
to drag or carry the wounded for several miles on foot to a vehicle.
One stabilization point was hit in a missile strike one recent night,
doctors said.
The staff stayed undercover most of the time to keep out of
sight of Russian reconnaissance drones.
At night, they worked in the dark for security, mostly using
a red light, which is less detectable, on their headlamps.
The casualties arrived in spurts and on some days in a
continuous rush. There were dozens of mine injuries and
shrapnel wounds, but so far in this counteroffensive,
few bullet wounds, doctors said.
Some doctors said they had seen worse casualties in
battles last year; one said they were treating up to
250 people a day back then in the counteroffensive
in Kherson region.
In the first months after the Russian invasion last year,
many soldiers did not have body armor or helmets and
suffered often lethal injuries to the head and chest,
said Dr. Andrii Komarinets, the head of medical services
for the 110th Brigade, who runs one of the larger
stabilization points.
But the army was short of doctors and especially of nurses,
he said. “We don’t have enough hands,” he said.
An administrator silently lifted a thick stack of medical reports
from the last week, one for each patient.
They had treated more than 70 people that day, and more were
on their way, he said.

Ukraine’s medics are calling for change – but nobody is listening
2023.08.03
“To the minister of health of Ukraine, Viktor Liashko,
Happy Doctors’ Day! I am asking you to prohibit the
uncontrolled reduction of wages for medical workers!
Let the money follow not only the patients but also
medical workers.”
This was the message of many cards sent to Ukraine’s
Ministry of Health by members of the nurses’ movement
BeLikeNina ahead of the country’s annual Doctors’ Day on 27 July.
BeLikeNina is demanding the government address the
problems facing Ukraine’s nurses and doctors, from
primary care workers going unpaid for months due to
a lack of funds in hospitals to new laws that facilitate layoffs,
as well as low wages and nurses quitting due to work overload.
On Doctors’ Day, a dozen of BeLikeNina's representatives
and medical workers went to the Ministry of Health in Kyiv
to try and have Liashko listen to their concerns.
But they weren’t allowed to enter the building due to
bureaucratic procedures and additional wartime security measures.
Ukraine's healthcare reform, which began in 2018, aimed to
move from financing hospitals to financing the needs of patients,
to reduce state expenditure and corruption and make healthcare
more accessible for Ukrainians.
But medics say it has introduced problems ranging from
unpaid wages to hospital closures.
Olga Turochka, a paediatric surgeon from the city of Shostka,
in Ukraine’s north-eastern Sumy Oblast, is one such medic
who believes she was punished for standing up to the reforms.
Turochka says doctors at her hospital, which is located in
a war zone, were not paid their full salary for three months
this year – despite there being a shortage of medics.

[단독] 러시아-우크라이나 전쟁 장기화에 무너지는 도시 필수의료체계…
키이우 ‘최악의 도시’ 됐다
2023.06.27
27일 천지일보가 입수한 우크라이나 수도 키이우 시립병원
(Kyiv Regional Clinical Hospital)의 집단 호소문에 따르면 현재
의사와 간호사 등 의료 전문인력에 응당 지급돼야 할 최소 보수가
수개월째 밀리는 등 전쟁으로 의료상황이 악화하고 있는 것으로 드러났다.
집단 호소문은 현재 열악한 의료 일선 상황을 고발하고 당국이
약속한 우크라이나 건강관리기본법에 따른 최저보수를 보장할 것을
요구하는 내용을 골자로 한다.
특히 젤렌스키 대통령 내각이 지난 1월 13일 채택한 최소 의료
서비스 제공 관련 결의안을 그 근거로 들어 작업 요율에 따른
최소 보수를 의무적으로 지원해야 하지만, 현재 지켜지지 않고
있는 데다 지난 2월부터 제대로 지급되지 않고 있다고 지적했다.
이에 따르면 시간당 작업 요율 최소 보수는 의사·약사의 경우
한달 2만 흐리브냐(우크라이나 통화, 약 70만원), 인턴 의사·약사의
경우 1만 3500 흐리브냐(약 47만원)가 지급돼야 한다.
그러나 현재 마취과 전문의와 간호사, 초음파 의사 등 많은
의료 전문가들이 이러한 최소한의 처우를 받지 못하고 있었다.
이들 단체는 “이미 극심한 간호사 부족 현상을 겪고 있다.
동료 중에도 저임금으로 사직한 이들이 많은 데다 지금도
많은 이들이 다른 분야에서 일자리를 찾고 있다”
