"....Ukrainian Ministry of Health that although the prevalence of severe infectious diseases were the cause of death is not yet clear, but that death is the direct cause of acute viral pneumonia. Rapid test results from the present perspective, such incentives are not fatal pneumonia caused by influenza viruses, but another is not yet known viruses. Age of the deceased are mainly young adults less than 45 years of age.

14-year-old pre-school children the incidence rate is relatively high.

Ukrainian Minister of Health Wakeniya Knežević clear that the rapid test results showed that the cause of death in these patients is not currently recognized due to Influenza A H1N1 influenza.
But for the time being still unable to think this is a variation of influenza A H1N1 influenza. Preliminary findings, the cause of death may be viral pneumonia, but the real cause of death induced by what is unclear and needs further laboratory analysis, laboratory samples have been sent to London....."

Pandemic (H1N1) 2009, Ukraine -- WHO update 1
---------------------------------------------
As of 3 Nov 2009, according to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the
country has now recorded more than 250 000 cases of influenza-like illness,
with 235 patients requiring intensive care. As of 2 Nov 2009, 70 deaths
from acute respiratory illness have been reported. Regions in western
Ukraine continue to show the highest rates of acute respiratory
illness/influenza-like illness. The level of activity in the Kyiv area is
also increasing rapidly.

Laboratory testing in Ukraine has confirmed pandemic H1N1 influenza virus
in samples taken from patients in 2 of the most affected regions. As the
pandemic virus has rapidly become the dominant influenza strain worldwide,
it can be assumed that most cases of influenza in Ukraine are caused by the
[pandemic 2009] H1N1 virus. As elsewhere, WHO strongly recommends early
treatment with the antiviral drugs, oseltamivir or zanamivir, for patients
who meet treatment criteria, even in the absence of a positive laboratory
test confirming H1N1 infection.

At the request of the government, a multidisciplinary team of 9 experts has
been deployed by WHO and arrived in Kyiv yesterday evening [2 Nov 2009].
Discussions with the minister of health were held this morning to brief the
team. Team members will now begin field investigations to characterize the
clinical and epidemiological features of the outbreak. Work will initially
begin in Lviv region, where reported numbers of cases showing severe
manifestations of acute respiratory illness have been especially high. Two
virologists on the team have started working at the National Influenza
Centre and the laboratories of the Central Sanitary and Epidemiological
Station in Kyiv to provide diagnostic support. Samples sent by the Ministry
of Health were received today by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Reference
and Research on Influenza, Mill Hill in London, UK. The laboratory will
conduct confirmatory tests and further characterize the virus.

Many questions remain to be answered. The outbreak in Ukraine may be
indicative of how the virus can behave in the northern hemisphere during
the winter season, particularly in health care settings typically found in
Eastern Europe. Given the potential significance of this outbreak as an
early warning signal, the WHO commends the government of Ukraine for its
transparent reporting and open sharing of samples.

WHO continues to recommend no closing of borders and no restrictions on
international travel, including to Ukraine. Experience shows that such
measures will not stop further spread of the virus.

Re: Ukraine- Pandemic Influenza - Ministry of Health says 255,000 cases & 70 deaths

A statement from the Ukrainian MOH.

03 листопада 2009, the Supreme Council of Ukraine considered the issue of poverty in the state of the epidemic of influenza A (H1N1). Враховуючи те, що Міністр охорони здоров'я України Василь Князевич не мав нагоди поінформувати парламент про ситуацію в медичній сфері, та, враховуючи велику кількість гострих питань, відповіді на які очікує суспільство, прес-служба МОЗ України надає текст доповіді міністра, підготовлений до виступу на засіданні Верховної Ради України 03.11.09. Given that the Minister of Health of Ukraine Vasyl Knyazevich not had occasion to inform the parliament about the situation in the medical field, and, given the large number of pressing issues, the answers to what society expects, the press service of Ukraine Ministry of Health provides the text of the report of the Minister, prepared speech the Supreme Council of Ukraine 03.11.09.



Вельмишановний Володимире Михайловичу, Dear Vladimir,
Шановні народні депутати! Dear people deputies!
Перед тим, як розпочати свій виступ, хотів би нагадати: закони епідеміології не мають нічого спільного з законами політики, вірусам байдуже яка політична сила при владі, а хвороби не лікуються критикою опозиції. Before starting his speech, would recall: epidemiology laws have nothing to do with the laws of politics, viruses do not care which political party in power, but the disease is not treated the opposition criticism.

Сподіваюсь, що сьогодні ми будемо говорити не про політику, а дамо суспільству чіткі сигнали про те, що держава здатна протистояти таким викликам, як епідемія. I hope that today we will talk not about politics, society and give clear signals that the state is able to confront challenges such as epidemic.


Тепер безпосередньо щодо ситуації з захворюваністю на грип А (H1N1) Now the situation directly with the incidence of influenza A (H1N1)

Нагадаю, 11 червня 2009 року ВООЗ оголосила 6-ту фазу пандемії грипу А (H1N1). Recalled June 11, 2009 WHO announced 6 th phase of a pandemic influenza A (H1N1). Це означає, що вірус викликав тривалі спалахи грипу серед населення щонайменше в двох країнах одного регіону ВООЗ та одній країні іншого регіону. This means that the virus has caused outbreaks of influenza in long-term population of at least two countries in a WHO region and one country in the world.

На сьогодні в світі зареєстровано більше 440 тис. лабораторно підтверджених випадків на грип А/H1N1 Каліфорнія , з них майже 5,5 тисяч закінчились смертю пацієнтів. In today's world, more than 440 thousand of laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza А/H1N1 California, including nearly 5.5 thousand cases ended by death. Звертаю вашу увагу на той факт, що підтверджені лабораторно випадки не є 100%-ою перевіркою всіх хворих, а є лише вибіркою, яка застосовується в епідеміології як метод . I draw your attention to the fact that the laboratory confirmed cases are not 100% married to screen all patients, but a sample that is used in epidemiology as a method.

Більше ніж у 90 країнах зареєстровано смертельні випадки, найбільша кількість смертельних випадків, станом на жовтень 2009 р. зареєстровано у Бразилії - 899, США - 593, Аргентині - 538, Індії - 315, Мексиці - 231. More than 90 countries recorded deaths, the largest number of deaths, as of October 2009, recorded in Brazil - 899, USA - 593 Argentina - 538, India - 315, Mexico - 231.

Станом на 22 годину 2 листопада в Україні на грип та ГРВІ зареєстровано 255 тис 516 хворих, 71 особа померла, з них дорослих - 66, 3 дітей, 2 вагітних. As at 22 June 2 November in Ukraine influenza and ARI recorded 255 thousand 516 patients, 71 died on the person, including adults - 66, 3 children, 2 pregnant women. Найбільш складна ситуація залишається в Львівській, Івано-Франківській, Тернопільській областях. The most difficult situation is in Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil region.


Чим грип A (H1N1) відрізняється від інших типів грипу? Наголошую - за клінічними ознаками нічим не відрізняється. What is influenza A (H1N1) differs from other types of influenza? Notes - with clinical features is no different. Їх симптоми однакові і схожі на будь-яку застуду, ГРВІ. Their symptoms are similar and identical to any food poisoning, ozone depleting substances. За своєю сутністю відрізняється тим, що ні в кого немає до нього імунітету, оскільки вірус абсолютно новий, до кінця не вивчений, ніхто не знає за рахунок чого погіршується клініка, і як з цим боротися. By essentially different in that no one no immunity to it, because the virus is completely new, not fully understood, no one knows thereby worsening clinical picture, and how this fight.

Хочу звернути увагу, що незвичний він і тим, що лікувати його почали влітку, важких форм захворювання було мало. I would like to note that it is unusual and that treating it began in the summer, severe disease was small. Відтак досвіду в лікуванні таких хворих у світі теж недостатньо. Therefore experience in treating such patients in the world is also not enough.

Характерною ознакою захворювання є стрімкий розвиток важких випадків, які проявляються у вигляді миттєвої пневмонії, коли люди помирають до п'ятої доби, або коли люди помирають на 7-8 добу від пневмонії з нашаруванням бактеріальної інфекції. A characteristic feature of the disease is rapid development of severe cases that manifested as pneumonia instant when people die before the fifth day, or when people die at 7-8 day from pneumonia stratification of bacterial infection.

Чи є ситуація в Україні виняткова? Is there a unique situation in Ukraine? Підкреслюю - Ні! Глобальна статистика свідчить, що у світі одна третина припадає на смерті від пневмоній, ускладнених бактеріальною інфекцією, та дві третини - на смерті від вірусних пневмоній. I emphasize that - No! Global statistics show that in the world accounted for one third of deaths from pneumonia, complicated bacterial infections, and two-thirds - to death from viral pneumonia. Такі хворі дуже важко піддаються реанімації, їм складно вибрати режим штучної вентиляції легенів, вони потребують багато уваги в реанімаційному відділенні як від лікарів, так і від медсестер. Such patients are very difficult to resuscitation, it is difficult to choose the mode of artificial ventilation, they require a lot of attention in the intensive care department from both the doctors and of nurses.

Дуже часто мене запитують: як може простий дільничний лікар визначити - чи це звичайна застуда, чи каліфорнійський грип? Very often I ask: How can a simple sector doctor to determine - whether it is the common cold, flu or California?

Наголошую - лікар і не повинен це робити . Notes - a doctor and should not do it. В державі чітко визначена епідситуація, вірус A/H1N1 циркулює по території України, і не потрібно щоразу підтверджувати це знову і знову. In the state clearly defined epidsytuatsiya, A/H1N1 virus circulating in the territory of Ukraine, and do not need to prove it every time again and again. Цієї осені традиційно присутні кілька вірусів, але фіксується переважно два типи - звичайний сезонний тип А та каліфорнійський A/H1N1. This fall, traditionally attended by several viruses, but is fixed mainly two types - normal seasonal type A and California A/H1N1. Кожен з цих типів може викликати досить важкі ускладнення. Тому лікар не повинен намагатися їх розрізняти, він повинен орієнтуватися за чіткими клінічними проявами у хворого. Each of these types can cause very serious complications. Therefore, the doctor should not try to distinguish between them, it must be guided by clear clinical manifestations of the patient. Якщо хворий не має важких симптомів, він лікується вдома та застосовує стандартні препарати, як при застуді. If the patient has severe symptoms, it is treated at home and uses the standard drugs, as with colds. Якщо важкий (дуже висока температура, біль у грудях, задишка) - терміново госпіталізується. If severe (very high fever, chest pain, shortness of breath) - urgently hospitalizuyetsya.


З досвіду, який ми вже сьогодні маємо, лікарі звертають увагу, що захворювання вражає, передусім, молоде працездатне населення. From experience, we already have today, doctors emphasize that the disease affects primarily young working-age population. Вік більшості померлих становить від 20 до 45 років. Age most of the dead is from 20 to 45 years. На жаль, навіть при тому, що сьогодні люди більш активно звертаються у лікарні по допомогу, смертність є досить високою, ситуація залишається складною. Пояснень цьому немає, у тому числі і у міжнародних фахівців, оскільки немає, як зазначалося раніше, досвіду в медичній практиці. Unfortunately, even the fact that today people are more actively seeking help in hospital, mortality is very high, the situation remains difficult.'s No explanation, including in international experts, because there is, as noted earlier, experience in medical practice .

Характерним є і те, що перебіг захворювань ускладнюється у разі наявності у пацієнта ожиріння, цукрового діабету, захворювань органів дихання, інших важких хронічних захворювань. Characteristic is the fact that the course of disease is complicated in the case of a patient obesity, diabetes, respiratory diseases, other severe chronic diseases.

На жаль, маємо на сьогодні і випадки ураження вагітних, що призвело до загибелі плоду, а у 2-х випадках - і матері. Unfortunately, we have today and the cases of destruction of pregnant women, killing the fetus and in 2 cases - the mother.


Як вже зазначалося, вірус швидко розповсюджується територією України. As already indicated, the virus quickly spreads through Ukraine. Випадки реєструються у Вінницькій, Хмельницькій, Закарпатській, Рівненській областях. Cases recorded in Vinnytsia, Khmelnytsky, Transcarpathian, Rivne. Карантин запроваджено у 9 областях. Quarantine implemented in 9 provinces.


Порівняльний аналіз епідситуації в Україні за минулий та 2009 рік свідчить: Comparative analysis epidsytuatsiyi in Ukraine in the past and in 2009 shows:


На 42-ому тижні 2008 року, а це 12-19 жовтня - кількість хворих по Україні становила 45 517 осіб. At the 42nd week in 2008 and is 12-19 in October - the number of patients in Ukraine amounted to 45 517 people. За цей же період 2009 р. - 45 тисяч 177 осіб. For the same period in 2009 - 45 thousand 177 persons.

На 43-ому тижні 2008 року, тобто 20-26 жовтня 2008 року - кількість хворих була 42 тис 713 осіб, а минулого тижня цього року - 48 тисяч 909 осіб. At the 43rd week in 2008, ie, 20-26 October 2008 - the number of patients was 42 thousand 713 persons, and last week this year - 48 thousand 909 persons.

Як бачимо, проблема сьогодні - не стільки у кількісному зростанні вірусних захворювань, скільки у тому, що медики мають справу з новим вірусом, від якого помирають люди і медицина тут поки що безсила. As we see, the problem today - not only in quantitative growth of viral diseases, but that doctors are dealing with a new virus from which people are dying and medicine is so helpless.

Ще раз хочу підкреслити, панове депутати: ситуація дійсно складна, але настрої, які нагнітаються, лише погіршують її . I would like to emphasize, ladies and gentlemen deputies: the situation is really complicated, but the mood that nahnitayutsya only worsen it.


Тепер щодо дій Міністерства . Now for the actions of the Ministry. Я свідомий того, що незалежно від сказаного мною, це піддаватиметься критиці. I am aware that no matter what I say is piddavatymetsya criticism.

Разом з тим, наполягаю: However, insists:

Перше. Все, що робилося і робиться Урядом, Міністерством охорони здоров'я - спрямоване на утримання ситуації під контролем. First. All that was done, and done by the Government, the Ministry of Health - aimed at keeping the situation under control.

Друге. Міністерство працювало в тісному контакті з міжнародними організаціями, нами виконувались і виконуються всі міжнародні рекомендації. Second. The Ministry worked closely with international organizations, we have performed and fulfilled all the international recommendations.

Третє. Проблеми, з якими зіштовхнулась Україна, не є унікальними, вони є в інших країнах. Third. The problems that faced Ukraine is not unique, they are in other countries.


Якщо узагальнити все зроблене, то хочу зазначити, що на виконання розпорядження Кабінету Міністрів України (від 28 квітня 2009 № 446-р "Про затвердження плану заходів щодо запобігання виникненню серед населення захворювання на свинячий грип") Міністерством охорони здоров'я були розроблені та сьогодні реалізуються відповідні нормативні акти, якими регламентується робота всієї медичної служби. If the sum is made, it would indicate that the performance of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine (on April 28, 2009 № 446-r "On approval of a plan to prevent disease among the population of swine flu"), the Ministry of Health has been developed and today implemented by the relevant regulations, which governed the work of all medical services. На виділені державою кошти було закуплено обладнання, медикаменти, деззасоби тощо. At the state allocated funds had purchased equipment, pharmaceuticals, boilers, etc..


Все, що сьогодні виконується, всі протоколи, які створюються чи змінюються, не є якимсь ноу-хау України. Everything today is, all records that are created or changed, not some know-how of Ukraine. Думаю, всім зрозуміло, що існують стандарти епідслужб, правила життєдіяльності в час епідемій, стандарти лікування, багато іншого, що роками застосовується в медичній практиці. I think everybody understood that there epidsluzhb standards, rules of life in time of epidemics, treatment standards, etc., which for years used in medical practice. Є виклики, на які ми вимушені реагувати в режимі он-лайн, залучати міжнародних колег. There are challenges to which we are forced to respond to online, to attract international colleagues. І це є нормальна робота. This is normal operation.


В Міністерстві є конкретний перелік заходів, що вживалися з моменту створення штабу навесні, та перелік роботи, яка зроблена з моменту ускладнення ситуації. The Ministry is a specific list of measures that were taken since the establishment of headquarters in the spring, and a list of which is made from the complication of the situation. Кого цікавить, будь ласка, приходьте до МОЗ, ми надамо добірку матеріалів. Who are interested, please come to the Ministry of Health, we provide a selection of materials. Зараз просто не хочу витрачати на це час. We just do not want to spend this time.


Разом з тим, Міністерство постійно втягують в дискусії, примушуючи виправдовуватись, щось спростувати. However, the Ministry continuously involve in the discussion, forcing justify something to refute. Це є політика. This is politics. Але сьогодні ми не можемо собі дозволити витрачати час на такі речі. But today we can not afford to waste time on such things.


Звертаюся до вас, панове депутати, з проханням: відтермінуйте обвинувальну риторику хоча б на пару тижнів, дайте лікарям спокій для роботи, а потім - ласкаво просимо всі правоохоронні органи на перевірку до міністерства. I am writing to you, ladies and gentlemen MPs, asking: vidterminuyte accusatory rhetoric at least a couple of weeks, let the doctors work for peace, and then - welcome to all law enforcement agencies for review to the ministry.


Разом з тим, хотів би відповісти на питання, які найбільше цікавлять суспільство. However, I would like to answer questions that are most interesting society.


Перше. First. Наявність ліків та марлевих пов'язок в аптеках. Сьогодні ситуація доведена до абсурду. Availability of gauze bandages and medicines in pharmacies. Today the situation has been brought to the absurd. Хочу нагадати: аптечна мережа не тримала і не триматиме у себе резерву марлевих пов'язок , які використовуються лише сезонно та у випадку надзвичайних ситуацій, як сьогодні. I recall: pharmacy network is not held and not keep a reserve in gauze bandages that are used only seasonally and in case of emergency, as it is today. Тому слід свідомо поставитись до того, що можливі збої у поставках при такому ажіотажі. So be conscious attitude to what is possible disruptions in supply to this boom. Держава задовольнить найближчим часом цей попит. State meet this demand in the near future. Адже паніка призвела до того, що люди упаковками скуповували навіть марлеві (а не одноразові) пов'язки. It led to panic, people bought even gauze packing (not disposable) bandages.

Щодо препаратів, ситуація схожа. Regarding drugs, the situation is similar. Стандартний перелік ліків, яким ми користуємось з року в рік, громадяни почали масово скуповувати одночасно по всій країні. За день скуповувалось стільки, скільки в минулі роки продавали місяцями. Standard list of drugs that we use year after year, people began to buy up massively across the country simultaneously. The day skupovuvalos as much as in past years sold months. Зрозуміло, що ніяка логістика тут не допоможе. Clearly, there is no logistic help. Знову ж таки, хочу заспокоїти громадян: якщо не знайшли препаратів сьогодні, вони з'являться за день-два. Again, I want to reassure citizens: if you do not find drugs today, they will appear in a day or two. Не повірю, щоб у українців не було вдома мінімального запасу ліків, або щоб вам не допомогли сусіди у разі крайньої потреби. Not believe that in the Ukrainian was not at home a minimum supply of drugs, or that you have not helped neighbors in case of extreme need.


Друге. Second. Ціни на ліки. Prices for medicines.

Звинувачення безпосередньо Міністерства охорони здоров'я у неконтрольованості цін, є абсолютно безпідставними. Charges directly Ministry of Health in nekontrolovanosti prices are totally unfounded. Згідно чинного законодавства таких повноважень у міністерства немає. Under current law such authority in the ministry there. Ми можемо лише моніторити ціни на ліки та інформувати громадськість про те, як вони змінилися. We can only monitor prices of drugs and to inform the public about how they have changed. Тож, всі запитання - до контролюючих органів. Therefore, all questions - to the regulatory agencies. До речі, хотів би нагадати, що загалом в Україні налічується більше 23 тисяч аптек, аптечних кіосків та пунктів. By the way, I would like to recall that in general in Ukraine has more than 23 thousands of pharmacies, pharmacy kiosks and points. З них, лише більше 4 тисяч є аптеками державної та комунальної власності. Of these, just over 4 thousand pharmacies are state and municipal property. То про який вплив держави на аптечний бізнес взагалі сьогодні можна говорити? So the impact on the state of pharmacy business in general today, you say? Думаю, це тема для розмірковування законотворців. I think it is a topic for reflection zakonotvortsev.


Третє. Що відбувається з тест системами в державі, чи їх вистачає, чи вони нам взагалі потрібні, якщо і так підтверджено наявність вірусу? Third. What happens to the test systems in the country, or their lack, or they need us at all, and if so confirmed by a virus?

Хочу заспокоїти і вас, панове депутати, і громадян. I want calm and you, ladies and gentlemen deputies, and citizens. Трирівнева лабораторна діагностика працює в державі, як і раніше, як би її не поливали сьогодні брудом. Tiered laboratory diagnostic work in the country, still, as though it is not sprayed mud today. До речі, мені дуже шкода, що праця багатьох лаборантів, які сумлінно виконують свою роботу у важких умовах, останнім часом незаслужено паплюжиться окремими політиками. By the way, I'm sorry that the work of many laboratory assistants who conscientiously do their work in difficult conditions recently wrongly paplyuzhytsya individual politicians.

Тест-системи в регіонах використовуються (десь краще, десь гірше) і показують нам результати. The test system used in the regions (somewhere better, some worse) and show us the results. Проте ще раз хочу наголосити, адже багато йде інсинуацій навколо цієї теми: ці тест-системи не призначені для того, аби робити аналіз всім без винятку, хто поскаржився на погане самопочуття чи навіть захворів. However, I would like to emphasize, as much is insynuatsiy around this theme: These test kits are not intended to make analysis of all, without exception, who complained of poor health or even disease. Аналіз робиться вибірково. The analysis is done selectively.

Але тест-системи обов'язково потрібні, тому що медики мають конролювати циркуляцію вірусу по території України. But the test system necessarily needed, because doctors have konrolyuvaty virus circulation in the territory of Ukraine. Вони повинні відслідковувати від чого помирають люди, від чого потрапляють в реанімацію. They must keep track of what dying people, why get in resuscitation. Проте, робити всім і кожному аналіз ПЦР на грип A/H1N1 - недоцільно. However, to do all and each PCR analysis of influenza A/H1N1 - impractical. Оскільки це дорого та необґрунтовано. As this is expensive and unreasonable. Для лікування це не має значення, а для спостереження достатньо за протоколом зробити модуль, по якому буде забиратися певна кількість матеріалу. To treat it does not matter, but rather to observe the protocol to make the module, which will clear out some of the material.


Четверте. Fourth. Забезпеченість хворих препаратом Таміфлю. Provision of patients with drug Tamiflu.

Шановні панове депутати, хочу наголосити, що, дійсно, ніякі препарати, крім осельтамивіра та заномивіра не довели свою ефективність в лікуванні грипу A/H1N1, але застерігаю всіх ні в якому разі не проводити профілактики препаратами Таміфлю та Реленза, оскільки їх бездумне вживання призведе до резистентності вірусу і лікувати буде просто нічим. Панове політики, будь ласка, припиніть лякати хворих, що держава не забезпечила їх таміфлю. Ladies and gentlemen deputies want to stress that, indeed, no drugs, except oseltamyvira and zanomyvira not proved effective in the treatment of influenza A/H1N1, but warn all in any case not to carry out preventive drugs Tamiflu and Relenza, because they thoughtlessly use will resistance of the virus and cure will be just nothing. Gentlemen policy, please stop threatening patients that the state failed to provide their Tamiflu. Ви спонукаєте людей бігти до аптеки і купувати препарат в той час, як вживати його можна лише за призначенням лікаря. You encourage people to flee to the pharmacy and buy medicine at a time as you use it only for the doctor. Запевняю, що в лікарнях препарат є. Assure that hospitals have the drug. Там, де він закінчується чи потрібні додаткові обсяги, Уряд це забезпечить. Where it ends, or need additional volumes, the Government will provide it. Якщо десь його не вистачає, то, будь-ласка, повідомляйте нам. If somewhere it is not enough, then please tell us. У кожного з вас є свій округ, тож допоможіть Міністерству і проконтролюйте, щоб місцева влада вчасно подавала інформацію, щоб слідкувала за кількістю препаратів і працювала на випередження. Each of you has a constituency, so help the Ministry and will control to local authorities on time showed the information to keep track of the number of products and worked to advance.


П'яте. Fifth. Сьогодні всіх цікавить куди міністерством витрачені 50 мільйонів, куди будуть витрачатися інші кошти, які зараз виділяються? Today, all interested in where the ministry spent 50 million, which will be spent other funds that are allocated?

Великі це кошти, чи малі - питання спірне, враховуючи суми, які інші країни світу виділяли на подолання епідемії. Big money is, or small - the question moot, given the amount that other countries were isolated on the epidemic. Наприклад, США виділили своїй системі охорони здоров'я 1,5 млрд. доларів , Євросоюз - 1 млрд. євро, Бразилія - 66,5 млн.доларів, Росія - 6 млрд.рублів. For example, the United States highlighted its health system 1.5 billion, the European Union - EUR 1 billion, Brazil - 66.5 million dollars, Russia - 6 mlrd.rubliv.

Думаю, ні в кого немає сумніву, що українська система охорони здоров'я працює, на жаль, дещо в інших реаліях. I think no one is no doubt that the Ukrainian health care system is, unfortunately, some in other realities. Тому, шановні панове, є великим лукавством перекладати на Міністерство охорони здоров'я, особливо сьогодні, відповідальність за жебрацький стан, в якому держава тримає вітчизняну систему охорони здоров'я багато років. So, gentlemen, is a big deceit translate the Ministry of Health, especially today, the responsibility for beggarly condition in which the state holds the national health system for many years.

Нами вже підготовлені всі кроки по реформуванню галузі, є розуміння і бачення що і як треба міняти. We have already prepared all the steps on reform, is understanding and vision of what and how to change. Однак, виклики часу не дають можливості рухатись швидко. However, the challenges of the time did not allow to move quickly.

На завершення, можливо повторюся, але хочу сказати: кого цікавлять так звані фінансові зловживання у МОЗ, запрошую перевірити це після подолання епідемії. In conclusion, may I repeat, I would say: those interested in the so-called financial abuse in MH, I invite to check it after the epidemic. До речі, нагадаю громадськості, що розподіл коштів міністерство не проводило одноосібно, а робило за участі інших державних органів, у тому числі й правоохоронних. By the way, remind the public that the distribution of funds held by the Ministry is not alone, as did the participation of other government agencies, including law enforcement.


Шосте. Sixth. І останнє. Шановні депутати, хочу вас запевнити : Міністерство охорони здоров'я ніколи не приховувало і не буде приховувати відомостей про ситуацію в державі. Finally. Dear members, I assure you: the Ministry of Health has never hidden and will not conceal information about the situation in the country. Всі звинувачення про замовчування випадків смерті - наклеп. All allegations of concealment of deaths - libel.

На відміну від політиків, робота лікарів ґрунтуються на засадах доказовості, тож, до отримання результатів лабораторних аналізів ми не мали ні юридичного, ні морального права оголошувати про епідемію в країні. Unlike politicians, doctors work based on the principles of Evidence, therefore, the results of laboratory tests, we had no legal or moral right to declare the epidemic in the country. Культури вірусів не можна виростити швидко за бажанням тієї чи іншої політичної сили. Fruit and viruses can not grow quickly at the request of one or another political force. Тому закінчу доповідь словами, якими й починав: закони епідеміології не мають нічого спільного з законами політики, вірусам байдуже яка політична сила при владі, а хвороби не лікуються критикою опозиції. So to finish the report, which also started: epidemiology laws have nothing to do with the laws of politics, viruses do not care which political party in power, but the disease is not treated the opposition criticism.

Дякую за увагу. Thank you.

Re: Ukraine- Pandemic Influenza - Ministry of Health says 255,000 cases & 70 deaths

And CIDRAP strikes again. This thread is now larger than the one from Oaxaca that started this Pandemic.

With respect to the death count, I believe the increase from 71 to 80 overall is the result of the increase from 30 to 39 in Lviv since the last release, not a report of 151 fatalities total.

WHO team arrives to assist with Ukraine flu probe
Lisa Schnirring Staff Writer


Nov 3, 2009 (CIDRAP News) ? The World Health Organization (WHO) said its team arrived in the Ukraine last night and met with the country's health ministry today to discuss a dramatic spike in flulike illnesses and deaths, particularly in the western part of the country.

The Ukrainian health ministry has recorded more than 250,000 flulike illnesses, of which 235 patients needed treatment in intensive care units, the WHO said in a statement today. As of yesterday, 70 deaths had been reported.

The high level of illnesses activity and severe cases, combined with reports of hemorrhagic pneumonia cases, have raised some speculation that the virus might be behaving differently in the Ukraine, but further testing is just getting under way.

Laboratory testing at labs in the Ukraine have confirmed the pandemic H1N1 virus in samples taken from patients in two regions, the WHO said, adding that because the pandemic virus has become dominant throughout the world, most of the Ukrainian respiratory illnesses are probably caused by the novel H1N1 strain.

Though the highest illness rates have been seen in the western part of the country, illness activity is increasing rapidly in Kiev, the WHO reported.

The WHO's field investigation team will start in the Lviv region, where the number of cases of severe respiratory illness has been especially high. Virologists from the WHO have started working with Ukrainian scientists at the National Influenza Centre and the Central Sanitary and Epidemiological Station, both in Kiev.

Ukraine's health ministry has sent viral samples to the WHO collaborating center in London, where laboratory experts will conduct confirmatory tests and further characterize the virus.

The outbreak raises several questions and may provide clues about how the virus will circulate in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter months, particularly in areas such as Eastern Europe that have healthcare challenges.

The WHO commended Ukrainian officials for their transparent reporting and open sharing of viral samples. It also said border closures and international travel restrictions are not warranted.

Lawmakers in the Ukraine today approved legislation freeing up $1 billion UAH (about $131 million) in reserve funds for flu response actions, according to a report from UNIAN, the country's independent news agency.

The country's head sanitary inspector today, in a television interview, denied that the country was experiencing an outbreak of pandemic flu and said only 14 cases had been confirmed, including three deaths, according to another UNIAN report today.

Meanwhile, two of Ukraine's top leaders, who are opponents in a January presidential election, scrambled to respond to the flu outbreak, UNIAN reported. President Victor Yuschenko instructed the military to prepare portable military hospitals, and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko promised to provide all of the country's residents with masks to reduce their flu exposure.

An official from the Ukraine's flu and respiratory disease center, Oleksandr Hrynevych, today projected that pandemic H1N1 vaccination could begin in a month or two after regulators approve two vaccines that are undergoing testing, according to a report from the National Radio Company of Ukraine (NRCU). He said the vaccine supply will come from the WHO and from individual country donations.

A warden message posted on the US State Department's Ukrainian embassy Web site said US officials are aware of the outbreak and are monitoring the situation. Though the country has imposed several social-distancing measures, such as a 3-week school closure, Ukrainian officials have told the State Department that no general quarantine is in effect.

The US embassy said that, because of legal restrictions and lack of resources, it is not able to provide private citizens with pandemic supplies, medication, medical treatment, or medical advice.

Re: Ukraine- Pandemic Influenza - Ministry of Health says 255,000 cases & 70 deaths

Here is a source for confusion: There is a city named Lviv in an oblast named Lviv (just like Oaxaca in Oaxaca - ooh!). The counts in this article are lower because they likely only count the city, not the whole oblast.

http://www.kyivpost.com/news/nation/detail/51824/

Viral pneumonia rate growing in Lviv
Yesterday at 16:54 | Interfax-Ukraine Lviv ? The number of people with viral pneumonia is rapidly growing in Lviv, the city's top health official Volodymyr Zub has said.

"A total of 323 people have been diagnosed with pneumonia in Lviv, whereas the day before yesterday the number was 232," he said at a press conference on Tuesday.

As of 1100 on Tuesday, 27, 273 people with flu and acute respiratory infections have been registered in Lviv, including 11, 000 children. Twelve people, including one in a critical state, are currently in intensive care. Ten people in the city have died of flu and acute respiratory infections.

Re: Ukraine- Pandemic Influenza - Ministry of Health says 255,000 cases & 70 deaths

Again, these numbers apply to Lviv city, not the whole oblast. Since no deaths are mentioned, one can assume that the two dead medics in Lviv are not in the city itself.

http://www.kyivpost.com/news/nation/detail/51826/

Over 10 percent of medical personnel in Lviv have flu and acute respiratory infections
Yesterday at 17:06 Lviv, November 3 (Interfax-Ukraine) - A total of 760 medical employees have come down with the flu and acute respiratory infections, chief of the healthcare department of Lviv city council, Volodymyr Zub, said at a press conference on Tuesday

"Fifteen of them are receiving in-patient treatment," Zub said.

According to him, in particular, 198 doctors, 312 nurses and 257 other medical personnel have flu and acute respiratory infections.

He said that currently over 10% of the staff of the city's medical establishments are ill, and moreover, their number is growing

SARS is often reported as translation for Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI), a condition not related to SARS-CoV (aetiological agent of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, the 1st pandemic of XXI century, arisen in southern China during 2003).

I'm not even sure SARI is the intended phrase. Google translator will often translate the Russian expression for ARVI (acute respiratory viral infection) as SARS by error.

Either way, H1N1 will certainly cause SARI and ARVI.

Kyiv hits epidemic threshold
KYIV, November 4 /UKRINFORM/. Epidemic threshold has been slightly exceeded in Kyiv at the cost of a considerable number of patients with acute respiratory diseases, says Oleksandr Hrynevych, director of the Flu and ARD Center.

?The clinical picture like in western regions is not yet observed in Kyiv. The epidemic threshold has been hit, but mostly at the cost of acute respiratory diseases,? he said.

At the same time, the Center head says, it is not worth announcing epidemic situation all across the country, ?Because there are regions where the disease is on decline compared to the previous week.?

The health ministry says a total of 6,357 people contracted flu and ARDs. 166 patients were taken to hospital. No lethal outcomes have been reported.

The number of flu casualties in western Ukraine has reached 86. The total number of flu and ARD patients is above 225,000 all across Ukraine.

Ukraine gripped by the A(H1N1) flu virus
Published on : 4 November 2009 - 2:34pm | By Willemien Groot Filed under: A(H1N1)Mexican fluswine fluUkrainian flu epidemicViktor YushchenkoWorld Health OrganisationYulia Tymoshenko
A sudden flu outbreak has brought life in Ukraine to a halt. All public meetings are banned, schools are closed for three weeks, and nine regions are in quarantine. The Ukrainian health ministry says 70 people have died of the A(H1N1) flu virus and 15,000 are in hospital.

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko focused the world?s attention on his country?s problems in an impassioned speech calling on the European Union, the World Health Organisation and NATO to come to Ukraine?s aid. The sudden flu outbreak was more than the country could cope with.

What?s more, the dramatic appeal came amidst rumours of biological warfare in the capital Kiev. A plane was said to have flown over the city releasing powder containing a mutated variety of the virus. The Ukrainian government categorically denies the reports. But in a country where everything is in short supply and presidential elections are on the horizon in January, such stories are hard to quash.

Denial
According to Piet Spijkers of Dutch Humanitarian Aid to the Children of Ukraine Foundation, the problem is that the Ukrainian government has systematically denied the existence of the A(H1N1) flu virus, known in the Netherlands as Mexican flu. It has provided no public information and taken no precautionary measures.

?Of course the situation is miserable, and a bit panic-stricken, but that?s typical of a country like Ukraine. They knew this was coming months in advance, just as much as we knew it in the West. But the government denies there are orphans, it denies there are street children, and they thought the Mexican flu was only for Mexicans. And now panic has struck.?

Mr Spijkers describes the situation in the children?s hospitals his foundation supports as appalling. There is a lack of basic medical supplies. There are barely any Flu tests, vaccines or anti-viral drugs such as Tamiflu. The children?s hospital in Lviv, 130 kilometres from the Polish border, has 100 Tamiflu tablets for 160 patients. ?If children get ill, we can?t even establish whether they have the A(H1N1) virus. We just have to go by the symptoms,? he says.

Garlic
Lviv, with a population of nearly a million, is one of the nine regions that have been placed in quarantine. The city?s pharmacies have been emptied. Even garlic, a popular household fever remedy, is either exorbitantly priced or sold out.

Election fever
The flu panic seems partly to have arisen out of political power games. Presidential elections are due in January, and both opposition and government know the electorate will judge them on their handling of the flu epidemic, says Mr Spijkers.

"I think politicians here are using or exploiting it to strike a political pose for the presidential elections in January. Of course there is something going on. But I?m afraid they?ve made a mess of it and now it has a political background.?

It?s in the interest of both President Yushchenko and his challenger, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, that the public sees their concern. According to Mr Spijkers there?s no other explanation as to why the government should be making such a show of the problems.

It?s unlikely that the flu will be a real vote winner. Even without the pandemic, the health service in the former Soviet republic is in a deplorable state. Ordinary Ukrainians barely have any access to decent medical care. Infectious diseases like tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS are rife.

The WHO is concerned at the speed with which the flu is spreading in Ukraine. A team of experts has been sent to the country to investigate whether the A(H1N1) virus has mutated. The organisation says the situation is actually no worse than in other countries. However, there is a striking rise in the number of patients admitted to hospital with lung diseases. It?s not clear whether they are infected with the A(H1N1) virus.
