An elderly woman died of a stroke in a hospital because of the road destroyed by two agricultural firms. The ambulance simply could not reach the medical facility faster because of the pits and potholes. The details of the tragic situation that occurred in Chernihiv region were told to UNN by an ambulance doctor Lyudmyla.
According to her, an elderly woman with a hemorrhagic stroke was being transported from the village of Kholmy to a hospital in Nizhyn. There are certain protocols for transporting patients of varying severity to medical facilities.
Due to the poor road conditions, the ambulance was traveling slower than necessary. The woman was brought to the hospital alive. However, as the doctor recalls, she died three or four days later.
At the same time, the doctor noted that if the road had been normal and the grandmother had been delivered on time, she might have survived.
