Ukraine’s psychiatric care on the brink in face of mass trauma


Poltava (Ukraine) (AFP) – With too many patients and a lack of staff, the struggles faced by Poltava’s hospital are symptomatic of the challenges burdening the psychiatric sector across Ukraine. Its founder Christian Carrer is worried about patients: “They have no future… no solution”, he laments, pointing out that in wartime it is “almost impossible” to offer them adequate treatment, particularly because “many doctors are at the front”.
