“We had difficulties in how to conduct planned operations or proceed with emergencies. We usually could advise to go to the other locations (cities or kyiv) to conduct necessary examination on equipment that is available only there. Even advice to go to the city was dangerous or not available, because of lack of petrol, lack of transport at all, mined roads, etc. At the same time, local feldshers started to do whatever was possible, even so, we all had issues with salary receiving and or other usual issues after some changes in the healthcare system were provided not a long time ago before the conflict escalated.”
