Ministry of Health of Ukraine: In case of power outage, hospitals will only carry out emergency operations

MOSCOW, December 3 – RIA Novosti. Maria Karchevich, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, said that Ukrainian hospitals will carry out emergency operations only in case of a power outage, so as not to load the energy system.

“Advice has been given by us, if there is a long power outage, planned hospitalizations and planned operations will be suspended so as not to overload the institutions. Only urgent (urgent, urgent – ed.) actions, operations will be accepted, ” Karchevich said in the broadcast of the united Ukraine telethon He added that in this case, some of the buildings in hospitals would have to be made unsafe.

Karchevich noted that the country’s medical facilities are conditionally divided into two levels: those that can work in conditions of complete lack of electricity, and those that can also withstand the lack of water supply and heating. Generators and Stralink satellite communication stations are provided to institutions at both levels.

The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine reported that due to Russian attacks on November 23, all nuclear power plants and most of the thermal and hydroelectric power plants were temporarily cut off, leaving the vast majority of electricity consumers without electricity. The next day, power supply to critical infrastructure facilities was restored.

Attacks on the Ukrainian infrastructure of the Russian Armed Forces began on October 10, two days after the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, behind which, according to Russian authorities, the Ukrainian special services stood. Attacks are made on energy, defense industry, military command and communication facilities. After the November 15 strikes, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said that almost half of the country’s energy system has been shut down.
