Donetsk Republic rebuilds 19 out of 86 hospitals damaged by hostilities

DONETSK. June 29 (Interfax) - More than 85 health care institutions have been damaged in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) since the hostilities began.

"Eighty-six hospitals have been damaged in the DPR during the hostilities, 19 have already been rebuilt," DPR health minister Viktor Kuchkovoi told reporters on Monday.

The DPR also experiences problems with medications, he said.

"The medications we get from the Emergency Situations Ministry's humanitarian convoys are for emergency aid. We are short of medications for routine treatment, we have some but not enough," he said.
