Residents of St. Petersburg continue to complain about long queues at clinics, despite the introduction of “remote sick leave”. The townspeople are outraged in the VKontakte group of the St. Petersburg Health Committee.
“When will you save the people from the queues? “Polis” on Parnassus,” the man writes in the comments to one of the posts, attaching a video that shows a crowd of people on the stairs of a medical facility.
Visitors to city polyclinics No. 107, 102, 96 and hospital No. 98 also reported queues on social networks on Monday morning.
Earlier, the head of the health committee, Dmitry Lisovets, stated on his VKontakte page that “reports about 5-7-hour queues at polyclinics, and even more so about lists to see a doctor, have not been confirmed.” According to the official, the opening of sick leaves remotely reduced the burden on outpatient doctors.
A St. Petersburg woman disagreed with Lisovets’s statement in the comments to his post:
“I am assigned to the polyclinic department of the Nikolaev hospital Tsaritsynskaya st., 1, Peterhof. My application for a doctor’s call was registered on 09.02. Today 12.02 — the status of my application has not changed. Yesterday I got through to the clinic, the operator informed that on 11.02 they serve applications from 02/01/22, and when the turn comes to applications from 02/09/22, she does not know.
“The doctor does not come to me for the third day,” agreed another citizen.
“Remote closure of sick leave does not actually work. For many employers, this is not a reason not to go to work. And there are still queues in clinics. People are also standing in the streets,” writes another.
“Digital services have been done, but it’s useless, everything is still worth it when the incidence peaks. Nothing in our queue will eradicate, ”the Petersburger summed up.
Recall, on the eve of the city health committee reported that 156 thousand 810 patients are on outpatient treatment with coronavirus in the city. Almost 9 thousand people are in hospitals.
