Some of the Center’s doctors and workers are already in the Kherson region.
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, on the instructions of the Lviv OVA, the Lviv Regional Center of Emergency Medical Aid and Disaster Medicine formed a strategic stockpile of essential items in case of an emergency situation – the migration of a large number of people in the Lviv Region, a terrorist act, a chemical or nuclear threat. Medicines, hygiene products, blankets, etc. are in stock.
Today, according to the agreement between the Lviv and Kherson regional military administrations, part of the stock was sent to the Kherson OVA.
“Transmitted medicines, first of all antibiotics, are needed in a territory where there is no medical infrastructure, where it is flooded, destroyed, and where the situation with the terrorist attack on the Kakhovsky Reservoir has led to the emergence of problems with infection control and access to drinking water. We provide all assistance according to the request of Kherson OVA. If such requests and the need for help continue, we will prepare the next batch of humanitarian aid,” said Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the Lviv OVA.
Director of the Lviv Regional Center for Emergency Medical Aid and Disaster Medicine Andrii Vasko outlined a complete list of things that went to the Kherson region.
“Among the humanitarian aid are 450 boxes of individual family kits, which include sanitary products for four people for a period of up to a week. In addition, we provide drinking water tanks, detergents and hygiene products, washing powders, diapers, towels, heaters (warm blankets), basic necessities (toothbrushes, pastes, etc.), antibiotic kits (to control infectious diseases) , antifungal drugs, basic solutions for intravenous infusion to provide assistance to victims of a terrorist attack in large groups,” said Andriy Vasko.
Doctors and workers of the Lviv Regional Center of EMD and MK are already in Kherson region, so for them and doctors and workers of the Kherson emergency department, dry bags, sleeping bags and sleeping bags are being handed over to them today so that they have the opportunity to stay in temporarily equipped premises, and chemical protection suits, which are rubberized and can be used as a barrier to prevent hypothermia, because people can stay in the water for a long time while providing assistance.
In addition, within 10 days, about 120 vans with drinking water will leave Lviv region for the southern regions.
