In Mykolaiv, patients with strokes are temporarily being admitted to City Hospital No. 1 and City Hospital No. 5. Routing was changed due to a malfunction of diagnostic equipment at one of the city’s medical facilities.
This was reported on August 4 during an operational meeting by the head of the Health Department of the Mykolaiv City Council, Iryna Shamray.
At City Hospital No. 4, the stroke unit is temporarily not operating due to a malfunction of the CT scanner. The equipment has already been sent to the manufacturer for repair.
