Telemedicine centres on de-occupied territories
We opened 8 telemedicine centres in Kherson, Donetsk and Kharkiv regions.
We provide nurses on spots with telemedical equipment and connect them with their doctors who are currently in evacuation. Additionally, we connect them with specialized doctors and psychotherapists. People can receive this necessary help on time in their location, which helps save their health and cope with the consequences of occupation.
How does everything work?
*
People in their locality turn to the telemedicine centre based on the outpatient clinic or FAP.
*
The nurse agrees with the family doctor, specialist doctors or a psychotherapist about a telemedical consultation.
*
All consultations are free for people with a referral from their family doctor. We also have volunteer doctors and partners ready to support the centres.
*
On the consultation day, the patient comes and communicates with the doctor via videoconference.
*
The nurse helps examine the patient using telemedicine equipment and shares the examination results with the doctor.
*
After the consultation, the patient receives all necessary recommendations, referrals, etc. If consultation with other specialists is necessary, the nurse makes arrangements for further consultations.
Why is this important?
Many doctors evacuated from the de-occupied territories through the security component. Hospitals are destroyed. There is no transport, the roads are very bad, and not everywhere it's safe to drive.
But people stay in these territories, and they need medical assistance. Thanks to telemedicine centres, we can restore access to many doctors and services, and people do not have to travel tens of kilometres to the nearest hospital.
