Yulia Tymoshenko asks people not to engage in self-medication

Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko is asking people not to engage in self-medication and to seek medical attention at the first symptoms of a viral infection, Tymoshenko's press office reported.

"We’re ready to respond to the challenges of the epidemic. I want to also note the importance of seeing a doctor immediately and not self-medicating. In that case, the forecasts by the World Health Organization, which are disappointing for all countries, will remain just forecasts for Ukraine," the Prime Minister said following her visit to the Zakarpattia Regional Infectious Diseases Hospital in Uzhhorod.

Yulia Tymoshenko also thanked doctors in all the regions of the country for their dedicated work in preventing the spread of the epidemic.

On November 4, the Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Health, regional governors and city mayors to address the problem of long lines at hospitals. "We need to direct immediate attention to efforts to reduce lines at hospitals and open additional rooms," Yulia Tymoshenko said.
