On August 26, in Lutsk, an expanded board meeting of the Minister of Health of Ukraine was picketed by parents with children suffering from cerebral palsy, – reported the own correspondent of the Western Information Corporation.
Minister Mykola Polishchuk listened to the picketers, however noted that the problem of cerebral palsy is not only medical.
The picketers demanded that Russian doctors be given an operating room in the hospital for a few days, that local councils finance operations, and so on. Doctors from Tula are currently in Ukraine, they are helping patients with cerebral palsy, but since foreign medics do not have a license from the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, they are not allowed to perform operations.
