Poklonskaya on Crimea's Medicine: “Even in the Forties Nothing Like This Happened”
Terrible stench in hospitals, and conditions are no different from the years of World War II.
Former prosecutor of annexed Crimea and current State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation Natalya Poklonskaya, speaking on the radio of Komsomolskaya Pravda, criticized the state of the healthcare system on the peninsula. According to her, the healthcare infrastructure in Crimea has now become worse than before the occupation.
Natalya Poklonskaya
State Duma deputy of the Russian FederationIf you just go into a hospital, the same ones in Yevpatoria, Saki, Belogorsk and Bakhchisaray, you will see that the Ukrainian heritage everyone was outraged about has only worsened. It has become even worse. In the hospital, the money that was allocated for repairs... The repair was done as follows: on the old paint on the windowsills, they simply applied another layer of paint. And it became even worse.
The former prosecutor was also outraged by the smell in medical facilities in Crimea, and compared the state of the hospital in Kerch to the war years: “The smell in this hospital... It doesn't smell like a hospital... The hospital itself, when you walk in... I had the feeling that even in the forties nothing like this happened. This is a terrible stench, nothing works, there are no basic white sheets!”
Poklonskaya said she had written appeals on this matter to the head of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and to the head of the Republic, and that “measures are being taken.” To this, presenter Tina Kandelaki asked how they could be taken if things had become worse since Ukraine's time. The former Prosecutor General replied that measures were being taken “slowly.”
Natalya Poklonskaya is a State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation and a member of the United Russia faction. After Russia's occupation of Crimea began, she switched sides to Russia. She served as prosecutor of occupied Crimea from May 2, 2014 to October 6, 2016. She was appointed to the post by decree of Putin. Ukraine's Interior Ministry declared her wanted under the article on overthrowing the constitutional order and seizing state power.
