Results of the Medical Teams’ Work
Since the end of April, the medical teams have been actively working in the Kramatorsk community. During this time, they have examined over 1,100 primary patients and organized regular visits to palliative patients and individuals with chronic diseases. In July 2024, 653 patients were visited, 499 of whom received primary medical care. More than half of the patients are women over the age of 60, and 128 patients were referred to specialists.
Monitoring Visit to Kramatorsk
On July 29, 2024, the "Health Solutions" team, together with CARE.Ukraine, conducted an important monitoring visit to Kramatorsk. The main objectives of the visit were:
- Assessment of the mobile teams’ work – analysis of schedules and team composition to improve organization.
- Analysis of examined patients – review of the number of patients and their medical needs.
- Discussion of issues – identifying challenges and possible ways to solve them.
We express our special thanks to the medical teams for their dedication and vital work. Their contribution to providing medical care not only to the general population but also to palliative patients and the elderly is invaluable.
