In Moscow, a 16-year-old girl from Dagestan named Aminat, for whom for several days could not find an anesthetic, died. This was announced on April 18 on her Facebook page by the manager of the Children's Program for the Hospice Fund "Vera" Lidia Moniava.
“The Aminat died that night. Almost to the end in the mind. Thanks to everyone who helped to get morphine. For the last two days, the aminations did not have such hellish pain,” Moniava wrote. “I am very sorry that the Department of Health has published a reporting press release that everything was fine, the aminations received the necessary assistance and did not need morphine.”
According to her, "if they saw with their own eyes how she suffered for five days, I hope they would not allow themselves to write like that." On the eve of April 17, the Health Department reported that, despite the lack of a compulsory medical insurance policy, "the patient was provided with all the recommended drugs in full, with the further ensuring the administration of morphine at home." The oncobiloral, along with her mother, lived in the capital in a rented apartment.
The head of the Moscow Health Department Alexei Khripun, commenting on the death of the Aminat, expressed his condolences to her relatives and friends. As for medical care, the authorities, according to him, "what they could do everything." “Unfortunately, this is a terrible disease, it ends very often in this way, including in children. As for the medical care that the girl received in Moscow in institutions subordinate to the Health Department, we all did everything,” Khripun told Interfax .
The Aminat, along with her mother, arrived in Moscow on April 10. In the next six days, as reported earlier, doctors came to her six times to assist, including pain relief. On April 13, the girl was hospitalized in the department of clinical oncology of the Morozov hospital for complex therapy, but the next day her mother decided to discharge. According to Khripun, in this medical institution "there were all the possibilities to help her."
At the same time, the head of the department admitted that the problem of providing narcotic analgesics of patients who are not inhabitants of Moscow "is actually there", but "we overcame it quickly." “The girl was provided with morphine,” he added.
As Echo of Moscow notes, the cancer patient received the necessary medications for only two days and only after the intervention of the Ministry of Health, an authorized person for child's rights and journalists. “The aminato said that if you evaluate a 10 -point scale, it hurts 10. it hurts so that it cannot say,” Moniava wrote earlier. She also explained that “only round -the -clock morphine helps with hellish pains,” since tramal, like an ambulance, does not help.
