There are not enough doctors for ambulances in occupied Crimea

In the occupied Crimea, there are not enough doctors to staff ambulances. In order to solve this issue, it was decided to involve medical students for the summer period. They will work as paramedics.

Holos Kryma reports.

According to the "director of the Medical Academy of the Crimean Federal University" Yevgeny Krutikov, this was decided because of the "expected increase in tourist traffic" and in order to "provide tourists with quality medical services."

However, the Golos Kryma publication notes that the request for students came not from the "Ministry of Resorts and Tourism" but from the "Ministry of Health of the Republic of Crimea."

According to Krutikov, medical students can become paramedics on ambulances after the 4th year of study, without academic debts: they can pass paramedic exams to obtain the relevant "documents".

We also wrote that the accident of two Russian tankers in the Black Sea has had a negative impact on the entire ecosystem.

We also wrote earlier that the water problem continues to be a major issue in Crimea. Indications suggest that Crimea will experience a dry period in the next three years.

Moreover, the enemy authorities are planning another waste dump, which the occupation authorities are unable to cope with, and its location will become another environmentally dangerous point on the map of the occupied territories.

It is planned to bring and dispose of garbage from the entire territory of the aggressor state.

These prospects do not make the locals very happy. Residents of Crimean cities complain that containers for separate waste collection have been removed from the streets. And they suffer from unhealthy neighborhoods with landfills that leak toxic leachate.
