Residents of Krasnoyarsk Territory with diabetes mellitus lack medical drugs

A resident of Zelenogorsk Galina Poddubnaya has been suffering from diabetes of the first type for more than 25 years. To monitor the level of sugar in the blood helps her sensory glucometer. On the hand of a woman it is placed around the clock. Galina Poddubnaya, a patient with diabetes: “For Libre 1, I bought Miao 3 on my own, so that my phone would immediately report my sugars, since I mostly have sugars that start to behave badly at night.” At such times it is necessary to make an injection of insulin. It is provided on a preferential prescription. The last time a woman received life-saving medication was in January. Other patients, including children, have to wait for drugs. Victoria Zhvakina, the mother of a patient with diabetes: The first is insulin, without it they can not live almost at all. Plus, in order to have good sugar and proper compensation, we need a strip test, a continuous blood sugar sensor.” This problem concerns not only the Green Mountains. In other cities of the region, doctors also continue to prescribe referrals, but patients are eventually sent to the waiting line. And the independent purchase of strips and sensors costs about 10-15 thousand rubles a month. Today, the regional investigative committee opened a criminal case on the negligence of officials in providing citizens with vital medicines. Yulia Arbuzova, Senior Assistant to the Head of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Khakassia: The needs and volume of medicines and medical devices necessary for citizens suffering from rare diseases for 2025 have not been determined. As a result, the procurement of drugs was carried out inappropriately.” According to the Ministry of Health, the situation is under control. As of today, at the authorized warehouse and in the pharmacy chain there are drugs for patients with diabetes (adult patients and children). For example, insulin-aspartum – 10.6 thousand packages at the expense of the federal budget and 5.6 thousand packages at the expense of the regional budget. Information about the strips and sensors of the regional Ministry of Health did not provide. Applications for their purchase are made in December, so the goods can be delayed for several weeks. However, this year medical products are delivered to pharmacies for 2.5 months. Ilya Zaitsev, Chairman of the Committee on Health and Social Policy of the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnoyarsk Territory: In recent years, frankly, I do not remember that we went to March, and the number of such appeals was still high, so I would still say that this year is special. I very much hope that the Ministry of Health will be able to quickly find a mechanism to solve this problem.” About 100,000 people are waiting for this mechanism. It is so many residents of the Krasnoyarsk region diagnosed with diabetes.
