Riga East Hospital continues to receive and treat Ukrainian soldiers seriously injured in the war
Today, on 25 July 2024, for the 16th time, Ukrainian soldiers severely affected by the war launched by Russia were taken to the Riga East University Hospital (Riga East Hospital) by an aid bus organised by the M-Help.com charity project. The bus carrying the Ukrainian soldiers was met by Normunds Stanevičs, Chairman of the Board of the Riga East Hospital, and Anatolii Kutsevol, Ambassador Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Republic of Latvia.
This time, 21 soldiers wounded in war have made the long journey to Latvia’s largest hospital. Patients were welcomed by a multidisciplinary team of physicians of different specialities and nursing staff from the Emergency Medicine and Patient Admission Clinic (NMPUK), Clinic of Orthopaedic Traumatology, Clinic of General and Emergency Surgery, and the Department of Hand and Plastic Surgery.
All patients underwent a comprehensive health assessment, including various laboratory tests. At least 10 different samples were taken for each patient, who are tested for at least 27 different parameters, including the possible presence of multidrug-resistant infections, which are highly contagious and spread rapidly in war conditions, at the Laboratory Service of the Riga East Hospital.
Four soldiers with very serious war injuries will be treated in specialised clinics at the Riga East Hospital. They will undergo several complex and sequential surgical and microsurgical operations. Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, rehabilitation and functional specialists will work with these patients to help them recover more quickly from their complex and severe war injuries. The injured soldiers will be treated at the Traumatology and Orthopaedics Clinic and the Department of Hand and Plastic Surgery of the Riga East Hospital.
The other soldiers, after undergoing examinations at NMPUK, will be transferred to other medical institutions in Latvia, depending on the specifics of their injuries. It is planned that six patients will be transferred to the Rehabilitation Centre Jaunķemeri for further long-term rehabilitation, and 11 patients will be transferred to the National Rehabilitation Centre Vaivari.
Patients were welcomed at the Riga East Hospital by emergency medicine doctor Helēna Turauska, surgeon Tatjana Kļimovska, resident orthopaedic traumatologist Vladislavs Nikolajs Makovskis, orthopaedic traumatologist Uldis Krustiņš, resident surgeon Kārlis Tapiņš, assistant physician Igors Bistrjaņiks, nurses Inese Žitkova, Agita Zīlmane, Nadežda Konstantinova and Kārklis Rihters-Zunte, orderlies Aleksejs Akulovs, Ernsts Čerņavskis, Iļja Nikolajevs, Genādijs Stepanovs, Gļebs Subakovs.
The admissions process was organised and managed by Aleksejs Višņakovs, Genādijs Ričards Rusanovs, Aleksandrs Garins, Inese Larionova and Valentīna Grigutiene.
Patients affected by the war in Ukraine are brought to the East Hospital due to a private initiative of the founders of the charity project M-Help.com, Arvis Rekets and Mārtiņš Medinieks. The Charitable Foundation of Georgy Logvinsky, which operates in Ukraine, has equipped and rebuilt a bus to transport these patients.
