Чтобы повысить готовность системы здравоохранения Украины к потенциальным рискам, Всемирная организация здравоохранения (ВОЗ) в экспериментальном порядке разработала новый контрольный список готовности больниц к реагированию на чрезвычайные ситуации, связанные с радиацией. Этот инструмент дополняет контрольный список реагирования украинских больниц на чрезвычайные ситуации, связанные со всеми возможными опасностями во время войны.
Документ разработан в целях оказания помощи медицинским учреждениям в оценке их возможностей по реагированию на «события с массовым смертельным исходом, вызванным аварийной радиационной ситуацией». Контрольный список был внедрен в четырех регионах Украины, включая области, где расположены атомные электростанции, а также Киевскую область.
«Очень важно, чтобы медицинские учреждения в зонах повышенного риска были готовы к любым потенциальным опасностям во время войны и сохраняли функциональность в случае повышенной нагрузки, – пояснил Эмануэл Бруни, руководитель программы «Чрезвычайные ситуации в области здравоохранения» в Страновом бюро ВОЗ в Украине. – Меры по реагированию на чрезвычайную ситуацию, связанную с радиацией, должны быть продуманы очень детально».

В семинарах, посвященных радиационной опасности, приняли участие 75 руководителей и менеджеров медицинских учреждений, ответственных за реагирование на чрезвычайные ситуации.
С начала полномасштабной войны в Украине в феврале 2022 года ВОЗ обучила более двух тысяч сотрудников служб экстренной медицинской помощи и врачей мерам реагирования на распыление химических веществ. Ежемесячные учебные занятия по реагированию на чрезвычайные ситуации, связанные с радиацией, проводятся при содействии Национального научного центра радиационной медицины.

The document was developed to assist medical institutions in evaluating their capabilities to respond to “events with mass fatalities caused by a radiological emergency.” The checklist has been implemented in four regions of Ukraine, including areas where nuclear power plants are located, as well as the Kiev region. “It is crucial that medical institutions in high-risk areas are prepared for any potential dangers during wartime and maintain functionality in case of increased workload,” explained Emanuel Bruni, head of the “Emergency Situations in Healthcare” program at the WHO Country Office in Ukraine. “Measures to respond to a radiological emergency must be carefully thought out.”
The efforts made by WHO to enhance readiness of Ukrainian healthcare facilities for responding to radiation threats are commendable. It is crucial for hospitals in high-risk areas to be well-prepared for any potential dangers during wartime and to maintain functionality under increased pressure. Detailed planning is essential for responding to radiation-related emergencies, as highlighted by Emanuel Bruni, the head of the Emergency Health Program at the WHO Country Office in Ukraine.

It is crucial for healthcare facilities in high-risk zones to be prepared for any potential dangers during wartime and maintain functionality under increased pressure. Emanuel Bruni, head of the “Health Emergency” program at WHO’s Country Office in Ukraine, emphasized the importance of detailed planning for responding to radiation-related emergencies.
In order to enhance the readiness of the Ukrainian healthcare system for potential risks, the World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a new checklist for hospitals to respond to radiological emergencies on an experimental basis. This tool complements the response checklist of Ukrainian hospitals to emergencies related to all possible dangers during wartime.The document is aimed at assisting medical facilities in assessing their capabilities to respond to “mass casualty events caused by a radiological emergency.” The checklist has been implemented in four regions of Ukraine, including areas where nuclear power plants are located, as well as in the Kyiv region.”It is crucial for healthcare facilities in high-risk areas to be prepared for any potential dangers during wartime and maintain functionality in case of increased workload,” explained Emanuel Bruni, head of the Emergency Health Program at the WHO Country Office in Ukraine. “Measures to respond to a radiological emergency situation should be carefully planned.”
Are the healthcare facilities in Ukraine adequately prepared to handle potential radiation emergencies with the new checklist from WHO in place?
Yes, the healthcare facilities in Ukraine are now better equipped to handle potential radiation emergencies with the new checklist provided by WHO. It is crucial for medical institutions in high-risk areas to be fully prepared for any potential dangers during wartime and to maintain functionality under increased stress. – explained Emanuel Bruni, head of the “Health Emergency” program at the WHO Country Office in Ukraine. – Measures for responding to radiation-related emergencies must be carefully thought out.
