Ironically.

Antimicrobial-resistant.

Infections often originate.

From medical facilities.

 

 

Medical staff try to follow.

Strict hygiene protocols.

And use protective equipment.

To minimise the spread.

 

Of these infections.

But facilities can be.

Overwhelmed with people.

Injured in the war.

 

 

Ironically.

Antimicrobial-resistant.

Infections often originate.

The head of the Mechnikov.

Hospital’s ICU said that.

Since the start of.

The ‘orcs’ invasion.

 

His unit alone.

Has increased.

The number of beds.

From 16 to 50.

 

 

Ironically.

Meanwhile.

With many employees.

Fleeing the war or.

Joining the military themselves.

Staffing levels are down.

His hospital in Dnipro.

Neighbours front-line regions.

Once his patients.

Are stable enough.

 

They are transferred.

To another clinic.

– if it has room –

To free up capacity.

“In terms of.

Microbiological control.

It means they spread.

Bacteria further.”

 

“But if it’s not done.

We’re not able to work.

Then it’s a catastrophe.”

“Then it’s a catastrophe.”

 

 

Ironically.

*Because I read “War clinics in Ukraine witness sharp rise in drug-resistant infections” by Abdujalil Abdurasulov on 22 Jan 2025, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022, on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem, including a story of Dr Volodymyr Dubyna.
