For surgery for hernia and a special net from the military asked 4 thousand hryvnias. The medical facility is called a case of misunderstanding and promise to do everything for free. At the Kiev Clinical Hospital No. 5 from the military who returned from the front, they demanded money for treatment. About it reports TSN. ua with reference to the soldier himself. Soldier Alexander Saliy is a native of Korosten of Zhytomyr region. In the war, he served under the spring of 2022 under Bakhmut.

He came to Kiev by direction, cut hernia. "It is very easy to" earn "on the front - when a ammunition and a bulletproof vest - it's 40 kilograms, and plus heavy drawers with mines. Here's a hernia," he says. For surgery, the defender was asked for 4 thousand hryvnias. "Anastasia, a doctor's assistant, said to me. So tomorrow surgery, prepare 4 thousand hryvnias. But since I had to give the money not to the cashier, I had doubts - whether it is true.

I don't quite understand why I should pay because earlier they told that everything is done for free. If it is legal, then without questions - I will pay, I will look for money, " - adds Alexander. The hospital assured journalists that the serviceman had misunderstood everything. No one asked for a military operation. The patient was told that it was only necessary to pay the funds for a special grid.

It should be put during surgery, because the hernia is large, if done without a grid, it can again bother it in a couple of months. "To prevent misunderstanding, I emphasized the military that the surgery is free. I think it is wrong to decide for the patient and just do what is budget but less effective. I do not know what opportunities and in my pocket I do not look. Instead Those options that can be - let it be paid, but better . . .

This is the same health: it is easier for someone to pay and know that the best option is done, the main thing is for free, without taking into account efficiency, but impotence takes from what they said: surgery: surgery Free, and there is an option with a grid for the amount of 4000. And now I hear "asked 4000 for surgery," - explained Anastasia, who asked for money for surgery. She assures that she is very concerned .

After the conflict, the soldier reported that the operation had been postponed and no longer demanded money. "The grid is already in the department. The serviceman will be operated on Thursday, he will be delivered for free. Why this situation arose - we will understand both doctors and the department. Namely, why this person interfered with the healing process and why the patient was offered to buy a grid. Let's figure out.

The military who are treated with our treatment will receive and receive everything for free, " - assured the head of the medical institution. Earlier, Focus reported that the highest military command of Ukraine appealed to the Verkhovna Rada to postpone the consideration of the bill No. 8312 on the return of surcharges in 30 thousand.
