Mass outbreak of pneumonia occurred among soldiers in the Urals


The infamous training center in the Central Military District Yelan (Sverdlovsk region) next outbreak of mass disease pneumonia. 145 conscripts is in the hospital, half of them - with severe pneumonia, said "News" the mother of a sick soldier. This information was confirmed by the Union of Committees of Soldiers' Mothers of the Sverdlovsk region.

She reported that all conscripts are in the hospital with a high temperature in Yelan lack modern medicines. Why fight an outbreak is difficult, stresses Markelov.

True, Markelov said that the diagnosis of "pneumonia" will still be supported, the soldiers will do x-rays.

- In the hospital patients are respiratory infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, - he said.

Accusations that the military does not have the nutrition, Roshchupkin not accept.

- Parents tend to exaggerate, - said the lieutenant colonel.

Garrison in Yelan notorious mass outbreaks of disease among conscripts. In winter 2008/2009, more than 1.2 thousand conscripts (30% of the personnel of the garrison) pneumonia, more than 100 people came to the district hospital in Yekaterinburg, one of them, Anton Yumatov, where he died. For the then chief Elanskii district training center Victor Bizyaeva in 2009 was prosecuted on charges of negligence and breach of sanitary-epidemiological rules. Then the colonel was relieved of his duties as chief, and after the presidential decree dismissed from military service with admission to the reserve. But in 2011, Yekaterinburg garrison military court found him not guilty, because the chief did not have to organize the prevention and treatment of patients. In 2011, an outbreak was repeated, and the bilateral pneumonia died another draftee in Elan - Sergei Vasiliev. Investigation of the case has not yet been completed.

And now - a new case of mass disease, complains mother sick soldier.

According to the head of the organization "Soldiers' Mothers of St. Petersburg" Ella Polyakova, the outbreak in Yelan probably did not occur by chance.

- Apparently, the conscripts were kept for several hours at the parade ground in the 20-degree cold - she suggests. Polyakov wonders how Elan has not been the focus of prosecutors, given that there are literally incidents annually.

The mother is in the hospital draftee Elanskii believes that the problem has to do the Main Military Prosecutor's Office, because the law is intended to grossly violated, and the command does nothing. In its filing, and after checking the information HRC complaint sent yesterday to the Main Military Prosecutor's Office in the capital.

HRC member Sergei Krivenko said that failure to provide information on the proper care of conscripts come from different parts of the country: the Urals, Southern Russia, from Siberia.

- The exact statistics on the number of appeals now lead hard, we still did not let up, - commented Krivenko. - But in December 2012 - January 2013 was about 300 complaints. The main task now - to change the situation, bring the perpetrators to justice. We do not have public authority, so we can only pick at state agencies in order to do something about the problem.

The situation of the lack of adequate medical personnel providing care, recently escalated, said Krivenko.

- The first is related to the relocation of troops. Old military camps are closed, the new opening. Children transferred to the barracks, which have long been not heated. Also, in order "execution plan" cases of recruitment of guys who are unsuitable for health reasons for the service. Plus superimposed reform of military medicine, which, apparently, does not solve the problem. The reform was closed a large number of hospitals, which led to the fact that the necessary medical care is not the military.

During the reform of the military medical system, which started with the filing of the ex-Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov, the Defense Ministry has eliminated 15 hospitals ( http://izvestia.ru/news/533092 ). Were closed recreational facilities, ill-conceived to reduce staff officers to the military and medical education.

If you can organize treatment in part, it shall be conducted in hospitals, including civilian, said Krivenko.

It is necessary to draw the attention of the Minister of Defence on this issue, to motivate it to build new hospitals, do not close the old ones, - he says.

Krivenko position supports Ella Polyakova.

- It is necessary to open new hospitals, to recruit staff of qualified physicians. So far is just the reverse.

In December 2012, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was in Krasnogorsk near Moscow, where he was shown several field clinics and mobile hospitals. Shoigu promised to reduce the number of mindless military hospitals in Russia will not.

According to Sergei Krivenko, January 29, 2013 as part of the HRC will be a meeting with President Vladimir Putin on military medicine. The Council is in the process test the effectiveness of the reform of military medicine to develop recommendations to address the most pressing problems.

At the time of publication became aware of a new outbreak of pneumonia. In the Moscow region in the District Military Clinical Hospital № 1566 for a week and half from the deadly disease had died four conscripts. Three of them had served in the 27th infantry brigade, one more - in a / h 30 616. All four were in the hospital is in serious condition, and military doctors could not save their lives. Two other conscripts in a coma brought to Main Military Clinical Hospital named after Burdenko. Into the death of a soldier military investigators are checking.
