Deputy Governor of the Trans-Baikal Territory Ayagma Vanchikova criticized local doctors during a meeting of the regional operational headquarters for the fight against coronavirus. She yelled at doctors about the slow discharge of patients with COVID-19. Hospitals are overcrowded in the region.
“Where are the brains? We need to tell them how to write out. Are they out of your mind, or what? Don't need money, or what? There is no need to save people, or what? We grow every day. How much is today? 258 today! New anti-record! - quotes the deputy governor portal "Chita.ru", which also published an audio recording from the meeting of the headquarters. - Why on this day, at night, did the CMC have fun with these patients, whom they did not know where to take? Why were they instructed that these patients should remain on the outpatient basis? "
Ayagma Vanchikova urged specialists not to relax and continue to work, "and not to conduct monitoring." She also criticized the work of the regional health ministry. According to her, the department does not issue "normal orders" on time. “I went to the radio, gave interviews about how medical workers are bending over, that they need to be taken care of. Because there are few of them. And I will never speak against paramedics. But why do you feel that way locally? Why does the Ministry of Health treat its work like that? " - she was indignant.
The publication noted that the audio recording of the official's speech was made, presumably, on the morning of November 12. The portal also reported that from November 17, due to a shortage of drugs, coronavirus in the region will be treated with analogues of drugs approved by federal clinical guidelines.
Over the last day, 269 new cases of coronavirus infection were registered in the Trans-Baikal Territory, a total of 16,021 cases since the beginning of the year. For the entire time of the pandemic, 12,991 patients were discharged, 235 people died from COVID-19. In Russia, 22,410 new cases of coronavirus infection were detected per day in 85 regions. The total number of cases registered in the country has reached 1,971,013. Over the past 24 hours, 22,055 patients have recovered, and 442 people have become victims of the infection.
On November 16, the director of the health department of the Ivanovo region, Artur Fokin, said that morgues in hospitals in the region are unable to cope with the storage of the bodies of patients who have died from coronavirus. According to him, the department is looking for additional refrigerators.
