As Russia's military invasion of Ukraine continues, Ukrainian doctors who have evacuated themselves continue to treat foreign evacuees in neighboring Poland.
Rzeszow, a city in southeastern Poland, about 70 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, has a clinic for displaced people inside the university.
In Poland, where about 2.31 million people have been evacuated, the language barrier has become a living issue, so at the clinic, two Ukrainian doctors who have undergone medical procedures in Poland are in Ukraine. I have a medical examination in words.
Of these, Dr. Marianna Cooper fled to Poland with three children aged 9 to 13 from Lviv Oblast in western Ukraine shortly after the military invasion, and she has been seeing her at the clinic since the 23rd of this month. ..
A pregnant woman who had been evacuating from Irpin, which is adjacent to the northwest of the capital Kyiv, said that many people had visited the clinic since the morning of the 29th. I want to, but there are soldiers in the hospital in Ukraine who need medical treatment, and I think the war is not over, so there is such a place that will help me mentally and physically. " I was talking while.
According to Dr. Cooper, there are many patients whose mental condition has deteriorated due to fear of seeing and hearing the bombing and anxiety about the future, and some people complain that they cannot sleep due to stress. We need support, and we also need an environment where children can spend their time with peace of mind, such as going to school. "
