In January-August of 2016, the TB incidence among children has rapidly increased by 1.6 times compared to the same period of the last year in Crimea.
The ‘head of the interregional department of the Rospotrebnadzor in the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol’ Natalya Penkovskaya informed about that, Kryminform reports.
“The disease incidence among children has increased by 1.6 times for 8 months compared to the last year. In such areas as the Dzhankoy region, this rate for 8 months is 3 times higher than the average republican rate,” the official said.
As a reminder, the Crimean medicine faced with serious problems such as a shortage of the personnel, equipment and medicines after the annexation of the peninsula by Russia in 2014.
