Recently, combat medic Petro Konoplya went on a hunger strike because of poor food and conditions in a psychiatric hospital in Odesa region. In his social media posts, Konoplya noted that patients are fed food that looks more like glue, and the walls in the wards are covered with mold. The Odesa RMA promptly responded to the scandal, and the hospital turned into a sanatorium, at least in terms of food. Patients of the institution told UNN about this.
"Of course it has improved. I had vegetables in the morning, and smoked bacon and fruit in the afternoon. It's a sin to complain," comments Roman, a patient at the hospital.
"Today, the food has improved dramatically. They give us vegetables, sausage, bacon, rich borscht, pasta. They even gave us peaches. Everything is good, even great," Roman adds.
A hospital patient named Denys also spoke about the positive changes.
"The situation has improved, of course. Breakfast was delicious, lunch was good too - pasta with meat, soup. As they say, nothing will happen until you make a mess," he added.
Recall
According to Oksana Alekseeva, a volunteer and director of the NGO "Time of Action," solving this problem is within the competence of the Ministry of Defense .
However, after the video was published, the Odesa regional administration promptly intervened in the situation. Yesterday, the deputy head of the RMA, Oleksandr Kharlov, visited the hospital and instructed the relevant department to inspect the medical institution and immediately resolve the issue of patient nutrition.
