Statistics of morbidity and mortality from heart disease and cancer may grow, according to doctors.
More than half of physicians (52%) report a deterioration of access to health care in the country during the epidemic of the coronavirus. The most critical situation, according to them, has developed in Moscow, and St. Petersburg. These data derive from a survey research company RNC Pharma and the social network “Doctor at work”. Termination of the provision of planned care leads to higher mortality rates from cardiovascular diseases, told “Izvestia” representatives of the medical community. And the autumn, in their opinion, may increase the number of severe cancer patients.
All that has nothing to do with the coronavirus, now works as a residual, said the survey participants. 52% noted a serious deterioration in the availability of medical care due epidemic COVID-19.
According to 40% of physicians, the situation with the availability of medical care close to critical: experts are overloaded, there is a massive reshaping of medical institutions, and the outgoing power at the same time does not kompensiruet. This view is shared by the doctors from the capital regions — Moscow, Moscow region and St. Petersburg.
the Ministry of health of Russia and the Moscow office on the request of “Izvestia” is not promptly answered. And the health Committee St. Petersburg said that due situation with the incidence in the city is increasing the number of infectious patients and a further conversion of institutions under the admission of patients with coronavirus infection. The reception of scheduled patients is suspended until the orders of the health officer.
the Complicated situation with the provision of routine medical care patients with other types of diseases mentioned and interviewed by “Izvestia” representatives of the professional associations.
— This development was expected from the beginning. But it is necessary to take into account the fact that in different regions it varies, it all depends on the epidemiological situation. Termination of the provision of routine medical care was a necessary measure. If this is not done, then Russia would be the same high mortality as in Europe or the US, — told “Izvestia” head of the Department of sports medicine and medical rehabilitation of the First MSMU n. a. I. M. Sechenov Evgeny Achkasov.
While working with infected COVID-19 today will shift, for example, cancer treatment centers, and their patients are faced with the end of operations.
— the remainder of the inpatient load has increased dramatically. For example, in Northwest district three institutions specializiruetsya in the treatment of colorectal cancer, including our hospital. Two clinics redeveloped for coronavirus, therefore, all patients who were supposed to be treated, transferred to us. I believe that such institutions are better shouldn’t have touched and leaving their work in the former regime, to patients received quality care, — told “Izvestia” head of Department of economopoulos in MGOB No. 62 Ilya chernikovsky.
for a Long period of failure to provide the planned assistance could eventually lead to the deterioration of people with cancer.
— Now all the tests are suspended. Accordingly, significantly decreased the detection of cancer at an early stage. So in the fall, when many are still dachas return, we expect an explosion in cancer incidence, especially in advanced stages. The load on the specialized agencies will greatly increase, — said Ilya chernikovsky.
Epigastrica impacted negatively on the work of specialists cardiovascular profile.
As in other areas, in cardiology and neurology feared that due epidemic will lack resources to treat common diseases. However, hospitals that profile was not loaded. But there appeared other difficulties.
— our Main problem was the fear of patients prior to possible infection with coronavirus in the hospital. People have long to suffer poor health and ask for help at very late stages of the disease — sometimes when we almost can’t help them. It is known that from myocardial infarction die one-third of do not seek medical advice of patients. Statistics we have not failed, but preliminary data suggests that the mortality of patients from COVID may increase, — said Dmitry Skrypnik.
the Return of disused institutions to their previous rhythm of work after the improvement of the epidemic situation will not happen in one week, says Ilya chernikovsky. Many will need to return their equipment, ventilators for example. You will also need to disinfect all areas of the hospitals to test employees and to await the results of their tests.
