‘DPR’ fighters’ ranks are decimated by terrible disease – tuberculosis. So, the incidence of tuberculosis, influenza and SARS has reached a critical level at the end of January on the temporary occupied Donetsk region territories.

It comes from the statement of the ‘DPR head physician’ V. V. Mozgovoi and ‘on competitive procurement committee’ members to the fighters’ chieftain Zakharchenko, LIGA.net reports.

According to the information, more than 25 thousand cases of TB cases and about 12 thousand diseases viral respiratory infections were registered on the controlled by insurgents territory on January 2017. More than 40 deaths from SARS complications were fixed too.

Also it’s noted in the document that particularly acute situation is on the Line of Contact.

‘The incidence of tuberculosis and related diseases increased on 54%. More than 75 lethal cases were fixed. The aggravation of the epidemiological situation in the border areas is primarily due to the fact that the number of former inmates of the republican colonies with an open form of tuberculosis harshly increased among military. Uncontrolled visits of such infected soldiers to Republic cities dramatically exacerbates morbidity among the population of these cities’, tells the statement.

Thereby doctors recommend to introduce strict quarantine, limit moving and visits of fighters to the cities. So, it’s also recommended to buy drugs production in Kazakhstan and Belarus, as Russian agents proved ineffective.
