Inadequate condition of hospitals

In July 2023, during his visit to Mykolaiv, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, visited the regional children's clinical hospital. There he talked with children undergoing treatment and drew attention to the condition of the wards in the medical institution. He noted that the chamber lacks cornices, curtains, and air conditioning. After that, the regional children's hospital began to repair the surgical department and installed air conditioners in eight wards.

And after this incident, the head of Mykolaiv RMA Vitalii Kim drew attention to the low speed of work of the temporary commission of the regional council on the inspection of medical facilities. He also called on the residents of Mykolaiv to send complaints and suggestions regarding changes in the medical system to e-mail, so that these appeals will be considered by the appropriate group. After anonymous complaints, Vitalii Kim announced the dismissal of the chief doctors of the medical facilities if he was convinced of their incompetence.
