QUESTION - ANSWER
We answer frequently asked questions
What kind of association are you? Do you cooperate with other medical institutions?
We are the team of the State Institution "EMC and MC of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine". We specialize in disaster medicine. Our mission is to provide counseling and medical care to residents of the regions of Ukraine most affected by the enemy's aggression. We help everyone, even the residents of the most remote villages and towns, and all our actions are coordinated with the military and other interested services.
We cooperate with the Red Cross and Médecins Sans Frontières teams to provide people with the most necessary items and help.
What examinations do you do at home?
It is the ambulance's job to determine the cause of an illness or poor health. But in conditions close to combat, ambulances cannot always get there on time. That's why we rush to help. We conduct the following types of examinations:
- Measuring body temperature with a non-contact infrared thermometer.
- Determination of blood sugar.
- Determining the level of glucose in the urine using test strips.
- Heart rate measurement.
- Conducting oximetry.
- Electrocardiography.
- Express ultrasound of the abdominal and pleural cavity.
Is it possible for the doctors of the State Institution "EMC and MC of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine" to take the patient to the hospital when the team returns to the district center?
Yes, we can transport a person in need of treatment, but only after agreement with the administration of the medical institution to which the patient will be referred.
In what areas do you provide medical advice? Can you advise on gynecological, oncological, neurological, ophthalmological, dental problems, etc.
Given the difficult situation in the occupied and de-occupied territories and the impossibility of visiting specialized specialists due to objective circumstances, our doctors provide such services. But only on condition that you consult a specialist as soon as you have the opportunity!
