the short number of the child tracing service 116,000 from any mobile operator and the free hotline, or write to the child tracing chatbot service in telegram, congratulations, i'm iryna koval and this is a program about health 19 june ukraine will celebrate the day of the medical worker and although we have always treated the representatives of this difficult profession with respect, the war has further sharpened our feelings and shifted our priorities. idols and heroes have not become singers , bloggers or politicians, they have become people, military rescuers, medics, and this issue we want to dedicate this issue to combat doctors to doctors, paramedics

, nurses, paramedics, and laboratory technicians, and their work is extremely important, their struggle is key, because it is a struggle against death for life. what could be more important, the war put a heavy weight on their shoulders burden and forced to work around the clock to exhaustion under fire in battle in the occupation and even those who work in hospital inpatients in conditionally safe territories under the sights of the enemy they live in conditions of constant stress and pain but are ready to forget about themselves and run to help others these are people with a strong will and a sensitive heart, in their hands is the fate of the wounded and, without exaggeration, the health of the ukrainian nation, so this issue i want to start by thanking all the medical workers for their work for the saved lives for the fact that they hold the medical front,

no matter what. thank you. i think that our viewers have mentally joined my thanks now, but i urge everyone to simply approach the medical worker and express their gratitude in person by shaking hands, comforting them with a sincere word, moral support, do not spare the kind words for those who do not spare themselves for our sake and although we usually start the issues with a story, this time we decided to change the format with a story, we will finish our program and together with you we will honor the memory of the doctors whose lives were taken by the war and now i want to tell you a story, it is the story of a couple of doctors who heroically worked in a hospital in bucha when terrible things were happening all around, so from the first days of a full-scale war, the settlements of kyiv region came under occupation, it lasted for 33 days at the entrances to kyiv the enemy behaved most

cruelly, the occupiers treated neither the elderly nor the young , later these massacres of local residents would go down in history as barbaric atrocities, and at that moment, despite all the horrors, buchi continued to work the local hospital refers to the irpin central city hospital, the inpatient department of which is located in buche, and the polyclinic in irpen . there are no other hospitals nearby. therefore, all the sick and wounded were referred to them. and although in peacetime the institution did not operate on children, did not accept deliveries, during the war, doctors had to work and with this, they worked around the clock and lived in a hospital without light communication, special surgical equipment, operated with what was at hand in the first weeks of the occupation, operated on about a hundred wounded, including the children were worried about everyone, as for rivny, and the following video was shot by the doctors themselves, so our

children, three years later, together , another and another child, a little one like that, this is the footage of lydia, who was injured on march 4. the family of the happy child tried to escape from the massacre that began near their house but the car

was fired upon. this story could have ended tragically . but fortunately, one of the best children's neurosurgeons of ukraine, andriy svyst, worked as a volunteer at the hospital. he fought for the life of the little patient for several hours, operated under constant fire and without proper equipment and won this battle, now lydia is undergoing rehabilitation in italy and this is just one story and hundreds in this hospital and one of thousands throughout ukraine, doctors in bucha had to save patients not only from wounds but also from execution, they hid our wounded of the military, so that the occupiers would not deal with them. they burned uniforms, copied medical histories, went to the hospital to help medics , workers of other institutions from bucha, irpen , guest houses, and even those who came on foot from kyiv or due to huge traffic jams. it was impossible to get

to the hospital. specialists were mobilized, so specialized, so unique that in peacetime, this ordinary district hospital had not seen such a thing in the team of profi. his wife was a neurosurgeon-pediatrician olga whistle. she was not able to participate in the live broadcast with us, but she recorded for tell us your story. so let's listen to it. on february 26, i and my husband andrii went to the city of bucha, irpinskii city hospital. we needed a consultation with a neurosurgeon for a boy with a spinal cord injury in bucha. 12 days, what i wanted to say, i was still amazed that

among the doctors there were many young people, young doctors , doctors, interns who stayed with their teachers, did everything they could to do or be useful, to help people, this language is our future, i can proudly say that i worked with them -on the shoulder, one more observation. i was very impressed by the resilience and strength of the parents, the children who were injured. and their spouses died or they lost their children. it was difficult to share this pain even sitting next to each other, but they were courageous when the mother of one girl, to my appeal that the hand

will not be saved soon, it will not be possible to save it, she answered without words, without any doubt, this is the decision she has already made, she answered, save my daughter, i understand everything now they are smiling, they are alive, i hope we will see her again and hug yulia sasha greetings to you, another girl who was operated on was the last one before leaving the hospital , it was on march 8, her name is lida happy, their authors were shooting together with their sister and father near the village of dibrova on march 4. but on march 8, they

were able to get to the hospital since there was constant shelling and it was extremely dangerous and even impossible to move. on the 8th, a team of neurosurgeons operated. and on the 10th, we were already forced to travel in ordinary buses on the floor on chairs on a chair in cold buses. i held my daughter for 6 hours so that she did not fall out of the chairs, she was heavy enough and still needed to be transported, she was lying down, we offered help, a replacement, damn it, she refused, she said it was my daughter, no, six hours on my lap, i know that we will win, and i

i know that we, doctors, medics, combat medics, will continue to do our work with love for ukraine and for every ukrainian. glory to ukraine. there was a moment when the occupiers first entered this irpin hospital in bucha. they drove up on a tank and pointed it at its cannon at the central entrance of the hospital , they broke into the premises as if during an assault on a military facility, they took the employees at gunpoint, ordered them to meet the head doctor, then began to check the offices and the ward, the doctors withstood this terror and remained in the hospital until

not all patients have been evacuated yet, the irpin city hospital and the maternity hospital in vorzel have already resumed work doctors of all profiles are on duty every day, the adult and children's polyclinics in irpen have also started working so you can visit the facility and congratulate their doctors on their professional holiday and we move on to the next hero medics who work at the front and under constant shelling save our wounded soldiers are heroes on a double scale of civilian medics to work in hot spots, the first volunteer is involved mobile hospital named after mykola pirogov, their history began back in 2013 with the creation of volunteer mobile medical teams that rescued wounded participants of the revolution of dignity and in october 2014, the first volunteer mobile

hospital continued its activities as an official formation already on december 15, 2014, a team of volunteer doctors consisting of 29 of doctors , paramedics and auxiliary personnel went on the first rotation in the ato zone, since then the provision of medical aid in hot spots has not stopped. now, in the conditions of a full-scale war, it has gained new momentum, so i would like to introduce you to my guest, with whom we will now talk about the work of volunteer doctors and their heroism in hot spots and who is in touch with us now, the coordinator of the medical evacuation of the first volunteer mobile hospital named after mykola pirogov svitlana druzenko mrs. svitlana e greetings, greetings to all of you ladies svitlana, first of all , i want to congratulate you on the holiday, thank you, thank you, ms.

svitlana. please tell us about the work of your first voluntary mobile hospital named after mykola pirogov. what is this work and who exactly do you provide assistance to? works in several areas. well, first of all, it is evacuation from the pick-up point of the wounded from the military or from the point of the wounded civilian to the hospital, then our team of professional doctors is traumatologists , anesthesiologists and surgeons, operating nurses, they stabilize him at the base of the hospital, and we also we can evacuate if necessary

introduce a round dance with seriously wounded others mrs. svitlana, who most often has to provide help to the local people? is it still the military? now a lot of local people have left here in the military. more often we provide help. please tell me, are you talking about the fact that the majority they asked, do doctors work yes? well, we mostly have doctors, we have mostly all professional doctors, er, we are not only doctors, nurses, paramedics, er, there are very few so-called paramedics - these are people without a medical degree education is basically all professional medics, mrs. svitlana. please tell me if the medics underwent any additional training before going to, let’s say, a hot spot

, yes, to the front. in abbreviated version - this is not a five-day course of providing assistance in hot spots so that people understand what to do in such situations in which they have not been before, they work in peaceful hospitals. and here you need to know what to do exactly at the front on the battlefield and to find the song of shelling, that's why training is carried out without fail on february 26th, we were already in kyiv and started to act as a small detachment, first we worked in the irpin direction gostomel moschun and well, we worked on everything that could be covered there, and in the kyiv region, when it became calm there, we moved here to the east, that is, since

the end of april, since the end of april, we have been in the east, and we have already provided assistance to many people. it is possible to say whether you are doing any calculations how many were wounded? yes, we must keep counts and statistics because it is very important to know who exactly we are helping, we must report to the military so that not a single person is lost, so for example, an accurate count for may in a month , more than 500 patients came in just because of our question. please tell me , ms. svitlana, that we very often include people on our air, such as us, this and medics, you are a couple of medics who are connected with medicine, they claim that now it is catastrophically not at the front

there are enough medical personnel and, well, we understand what the military must know, here are these winter medicines in order to provide timely pre-medical assistance until the doctors arrive. so, it is very important for you that the military can provide first aid and get to the medics. well, a couple of medics, forget who who can then take you to the hospital and provide professional help, that is why it is important to conduct training among the military regarding the shortage of medics, i had the opposite impression that there are more military medics and many positions close already, i'm observing another situation. it seems to me that it's getting better despite the heated battles

, we'll manage with everyone's help, that is, no one will suffocate from the lack of doctors, unless we 're at zero. it's clear that professional doctors don't have to be zero and please tell ms. svitlana, maybe something is missing, i’m asking you, maybe there are some urgent needs, urgent needs , these are only new cars, new fast ones that can be used so that they do not break down, so that we are not afraid, that the critical moment will be delivered to me we have everything else, and you can tell us about this route, how everything happens after a person is injured, well, after a person is injured in, well, if we are talking about the

military, they have a person who is responsible for help there, she connects with me and we call a car that picks up a wounded person at a certain point, this is how it can happen, or they bring to the hospital, stabilize the patients, then help evacuate the patient for further treatment, for example, an airstrike on civilians uh, it happens where houses are destroyed and civilians are missing, we then go there ourselves

and provide help and take them to the hospital. us thank you sincerely thank you and we continue our program and the ex-deputy who became a tactical medic this is exactly what can be said about yehor firsov from the first days of the large-scale invasion of russia into ukraine. he was in the ranks of the territorial defense of kyiv and then i asked for an advanced need from the military then there was no and there was a problem with tactical medics, so egor went to the courses, studied and went to avdiyivka how without a medical education but with the desire to save the wounded, a couple is currently working as a medic on the front lines egor firsov will tell us now and he will tell us with us in touch yehor i congratulate you and i congratulate you yehor well, now the day of the doctor is also your holiday, so i want to congratulate you today yes, thank you very much well, but

to be honest, i still do not count myself among the ranks of doctors in such an honorable field, yes despite that in principle yes, you are right, i have been actively working in this field for more than a month, they are called tactical medics, then please tell us what you do now and how you managed to provide medical care without a medical education. medics are not doctors, i will say right away that they are not people who treat, operate, establish diagnoses , prescribe some prescriptions, the task of a tactical medic is to provide first aid, relatively speaking , in the first 10-15 minutes, depending on the wound in as a rule, er, 90% are shrapnel wounds. that's why you need to, as they say, get your

hands full and take courses in order to provide such assistance and understand how to behave in one or another situation, well, first of all regarding evacuation under fire is a rather specific situation, and secondly, how to behave in the event that a person is bitten, if a person has injuries there, limbs, neck, and so on, that is, for this, you have a certain algorithm of actions, which and which you are taught. well, i understand whether it is because i'm not afraid of blood there, relatively speaking some such complicated things. well, i don't know. there are often more of them on your screens. that is, there are complicated situations. yes, i was not afraid of this, and in principle , there are some military operations there. i can't say that i, well, if they called me some fear and i decided that if there is a shortage of tactical medics, why don't i go and study as a

tactical medic. please tell me how long your training lasted and where exactly it took place, maybe now our viewers, those who watch us, ukrainians also want to undergo such training and go to the front in order to help our troops . this is a very popular question, because first of all, i advise everyone to undergo such training, even if not to help at least for themselves, because the war continues, shelling, as we know, is happening all over the country and to understand how to teach and provide medical first aid, medical aid is very, very important, but i went through such training in a military center, let's say, in the chernihiv region, i won't name the location exactly. but it lasted a little, well, about two weeks. and here's the theory plus practice uh, and it was training specifically for

the military, that is, i worked with the ss officers there. well , and so on, but as for civilians, there is a huge question, first of all, you need to look for it. i am convinced that there are such courses somewhere, and on the other hand, i understand that there are not enough such courses, here are similar courses on tactical medicine and books - even some basics about military affairs in general. and it is necessary to open in every district center and teach people to teach, starting from the little ones who go to kindergarten there, ending with people who are already there of retirement age, because this knowledge will definitely be superfluous, they will be needed, and as i say, this does not only apply to the medical component, it also applies to how to behave during shelling during, well, that is, there are a lot of questions that must be answered before the medical care you

are talking about well almost every day when i am in the zone in the war zone almost every day that is normal well my function is included and i have a driver's license experience as a driver more than 10 years ago evacuation is also one of the components to have a nice car, to take the wounded to the hospital, and so on, and here we are in this order of life, in fact, it is only a small, small, well , chain, and the fact that the very first person who worked with the fighter, most likely, it could be his brother , plays a huge role if it was at zero, who provided first aid, who took the soldier a-a to the hospital, and finally here i would like to

sincerely thank and directly bow a-a to the medical workers, specifically the trauma surgeons who perform the most difficult operations every day and they work and hours a day, and this is not an exaggeration . in my hospitals, where we take the wounded, i have seen how doctors after surgery simply sleep and almost on the floor in the operating rooms. these are, in fact, real heroes for me. i am not a doctor. i am only a tactical medic who helps . to this, but here we constantly say thanks to the armed forces of ukraine, we constantly say thanks to other people, i would like to say a huge thank you to the military doctors who save the lives and health of our soldiers every day even medics who found themselves in the war. that in the first minutes when there is shelling and someone is

wounded, they can, you know, get confused, did you have this kind of confusion that you felt, that somewhere you have to find the strength to gather yourself and start providing this help, of course there was, well, let's start with the fact that i went to the front at all because of a certain kind of confusion, you know, well, well, confusion, that is, i was not ready for war, i did not know military affairs. and in order to gather myself and be as useful as possible to find myself on the battlefield, i actually went to study at of a tactical medic and went to the front line. and as for the confusion, yes, the first weeks it really was. well, i don’t know how to describe it. it’s just really banal confusion because there are so many factors. that is, you don’t provide help like there are emergency doctors under normal conditions you provide help in very difficult conditions, where it constantly flies in and explodes, you have to take off

the bulletproof vest, cut the military clothes with scissors, and so on and so on, that is, there are a lot of such certain complications and the first, well, even for two weeks, i can say it was confusion and even fear, after that everything disappears somewhere and i concluded for myself that war is certainly scary, but the scariest thing is when you are confused, when you don't know your business, your function, when you know what you have to do you have to do it, of course, fear disappears and you understand your mission. yes, of course, you can be hurt, you can be killed. but the most important thing is that you know your goal and go to it. know your task in the war and find yourself on the battlefield if you joined it and we were

in touch with yehor firsov, who is now on the front line and works there as a parameter 12 ukrainian medics, just as many since february 24 were killed by the russian occupiers, another 47 difficult injuries are official statistics made public by the minister of health viktor lyashko, he said that the number is potentially higher, but so far the department has no confirmation, as i promised at the beginning of the program, we end this issue with a story by anna olenkova about the doctors whose stories we lost are heroes in the faces at the end let's honor their memory with a moment of silence and i was with you iryna koval take care of yourself and the medics fighters protect us and medics save them jan
