Bishkek: Russian doctors sent to Kyrgyzstan to assist in combating COVID-19 coronavirus infection summed up their work.
“We arrived in Kyrgyzstan on July 23,” Deputy Minister of Health of the Republic of Bashkortostan Evgeny Kustov said at a briefing Sunday. “We visited and worked in 31 health-care organizations throughout the republic. We worked on forming and improving COVID-19 treatment methods. We had a productive exchange of experience with Kyrgyz doctors,” Kustov added. The deputy health minister of Bashkortostan said one of their main tasks was to organise a system of anti-epidemiological regimes to protect the health workers themselves so that they can continue to work. “During the whole period of our work in Kyrgyzstan, over 4000 thousand people were examined, 564 were discharged from hospitals and another 370 were prepared to be discharged. 22 patients were transferred to invasive ventilators, and 17 were discharged. We removed 5 people from lung ventilation,” Kustov added.
