-Caveat Lector- =========================== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU Belgrade, 10 November 1999 No2 INFORMATION ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF NATO AGGRESSION IN THE FIELD OF HEALTH CARE AND PROTECTION 1. Since the end of the war operations (24 March through 7 June 1999), according to still incomplete information gathered and processed so far, more than 1,800 killed and 5,000 wounded persons have been registered, mostly women, children, the elderly as well as persons belonging to other vulnerable groups. Some 2,000 wounded persons will remain disabled for life. 2. In the same period, 147 health care institutions were demolished or damaged along with their equipment, medicines and medical supplies. Special commissions are in the process of assessing precise financial losses in each of these institutions, which will be made public once the procedure is over (Annex: List of health institutions damaged by war operations). In the wake of NATO bombing, many residents of all nationalities and religions had to leave their homes and places of residence which negatively affected regular obligatory immunization (vaccines) against contagious diseases, the consequences of which are yet to be felt. Also affected or prevented were: - regular haematolyses for 4,500 patients affected by chronical terminal kidney failure, whose lives are directly endangered without this kind of protection; - internal, surgical and radiological diagnosis and therapy for 90,000 patients suffering from malignant diseases, which will inevitably increase the mortality rate related to this disease; - diagnostics and necessary therapy which will increase the mortality rate related to the following non-contagious diseases: 200,000 affected by diabetes; 300,000 affected by cardio-vascular diseases; 30,00 affected by neuro-psychiatric diseases; 600 haemophiliacs 400 patients with transplants (kidney, etc). Hygienic and epidemiological control of potable water and food have also been made difficult which coupled with degradation of springs and damage to the water supply system (in most towns) including a large number of residents accommodated in inadequate dwellings, has already resulted in an increased number of persons affected by contagious respiratory and stomach diseases. 4. Precarious financial situation in the Republican Institute for Health-Care has already brought about extremely difficult situation in terms of supplying medical institutions with medicines and medical supplies, be they locally supplied or imported. As it was not possible to provide medical equipment and spare parts to health care institutions in the Republic of Serbia in good time, most of the equipment in the health care institutions is old. Health-care institutions in the Republic of Serbia at this moment lack a large number of necessary medical equipment: 200 dialysis equipment, 500 various types of defibrillators, 220 various types of ultrasound equipment, 900 types of ECG equipment, 150 reanimation kits, 50 sets for anaesthesia with automatic pulmonary respiration, 150 cardio-graphs, 150 tables for neonatal reanimation, 150 respiratory electrical pumps, 150 blood heaters, 200 different types of incubators (portable, semi-intensive and intensive care), 100 spyro-metres, 200 blood counting machines, 400 ambulances with stretchers and related equipment and a large number of other equipment for all levels and types of health protection. 5) Due to the destruction of oil refineries in the Republic of Serbia, at this moment, it is necessary to enure the imports of the following derivatives: 4,098.17 tonnes of petrol; 1,759.17 tonnes of diesel; 46,767.20 tonnes of crude oil; 42,459.9 tonnes oh heating oil; and 3,507.99 tonnes of natural gas, i.e. necessary financial resources amounting to 159,894,218 US Dollars. The shortage of energy resources directly affects the functioning and provision of services in medical emergencies and many other medical branches (Annex: Break down of energy requirement for a four-month period for individual medical institutions). 6) In the FRY market, the share of imported medical supplies accounts for 45.18 per cent. Since the onset of aggressor operations, domestic production has been in a critical situation in all production processes in view of the fact that local production is to a large extent dependant on imported raw materials and precursors. If pharmaceutical industry is to continue its production and restore its pre-aggression production level, it is necessary to ensure raw materials, precursors and other spare parts, in the amount of DM 200,000,000.00. In order to meet six-month needs of medical institutions in the Republic of Serbia related to imports of medicines, it is necessary to ensure 35,261,933.35 DM, for disposable medical supplies 29,169,985.18 DM. Priority should also be given to 6-month supplies for chemical laboratories, institutes and health protection centres in the territory of the Republic of Serbia for purchases of chemicals, diagnostic agents, serums and other disposable items, in the amount of USD 1,992,233.00. In order to enable normal functioning of health care service in the Republic of Serbia, it is necessary to ensure the above financial resources as soon as possible, namely necessary medicines and other medical disposables.
