A one-year-old child died in temporarily occupied Mariupol. Doctors gave the child an unknown injection and sent him to another medical centre.



This is reported by the Mariupol city Council.

A one-year-old child died due to lack of equipment and professional doctors.

The mother said that she noticed the child turning pale, so she turned to the local hospital. The child needed a CT scan, but the medical centre did not have the right equipment.

So the doctors gave an injection without even telling the parents which one. After that they said that they had to take the child to Donetsk, because "there was no children's hospital in the city and there was nowhere to put the child. But in the evening the child died, - reported in the city Council.

It is noted that in temporarily occupied Mariupol catastrophic situation is not enough doctors and medicines.

Hospitals do not have modern equipment, because it was either destroyed by the Russians or taken out. People can not only not get normal medical care, but also vital drugs, - stated in the message.

Earlier Mariupol residents reported about the lack of insulin. A similar problem was recorded in the Kherson region. There, the Russians said that they would issue insulin and other medicines only to those who have a Russian passport.
