Over the past week, 481 patients have been hospitalized in the medical facilities of the Drohobych community, indicating an increase in cases of heart attacks and strokes. \”The data was presented by the head of the health department, Volodymyr Chuba, during the Monday staff meeting,\” reports the source.
Specifically, 15 cases of myocardial infarction were registered within the week, of which 8 stenting procedures were performed, and 21 stroke cases were recorded. In total, 57 surgeries were carried out, including 25 urgent ones. **The hot summer weather** and sharp temperature changes negatively affect people’s cardiovascular systems.
Chuba emphasizes: \”At the first suspicious symptoms, you should seek medical assistance.\” Regarding flu and ARVI, the number of illnesses has decreased to 155 cases. The highest number of cases is among the age group from 30 to 64 years.
A pleasing piece of news is the birth of ten children in the maternity ward of the KNP \”Drohobych City Hospital No. 1\”, among whom are seven boys.
