"That's not news. They talked about this in the past, and even, in my opinion, the year before last, they sounded the alarm. The measles vaccination simply ceased, and the epidemic began accordingly. Similarly, the high incidence of tuberculosis in Ukraine, ”Ischenko said.

According to the expert, the high incidence rate is caused by “deterioration of medical care and lower living standards.”

"Sick where?" Here in India, for example, from the point of view of ecology and nature everything seems to be fine, people go there to rest, but since there are many, frankly, poor people, there are many diseases there. And in general in Southeast Asia, not only in India. The same is now in Ukraine. If the standard of living is extremely low, and the level of health care is none, then naturally this will be a breeding ground for the disease, ”he believes.

Earlier, WHO reported that 70% of measles cases in Europe occur in Ukraine.
