The development of the healthcare sector and improvement of the quality of medical services are a priority and play a key role in the development strategy of the Drohobych community.
With the start of the healthcare reform, Drohobych has relied on strengthening the material and technical base of the hromada’s medical institutions, so now two hospitals of the Drohobychska AH have joined the capable network of medical institutions published by the Ministry of Health, and Drohobych Hospital No. 1 has become the second institution in the oblast to provide a wide range of quality medical services in terms of capacity and workload.
According to Volodymyr Chuba, Head of the Healthcare Department, during Monday’s staff meeting at the City Council, 93 surgical interventions were carried out in the medical institutions of the Drohobych community last week, 26 of them were urgent, as the patients’ condition required surgical intervention.
Unfortunately, the number of heart attacks and strokes has recently increased. Over the past week, 22 cases of heart attacks and 16 strokes were recorded in the community. Thanks to the prompt actions of the doctors, 22 coronary angiographies were performed, and 16 patients underwent stenting.
At the same time, 15 babies were born in the maternity ward of the city hospital last week, 11 of them were boys and 4 were girls.
