The BBC reports that very dangerous, drug resistant bacteria are spreading in Ukraine’s hospitals.
As it was always a danger to be infected with drug resistant super-bugs in hospitals, this dangerous situation has exploded due to the overflowing Ukrainian hospitals. All those Western antibiotics and medications are no further effective in view of the many new mutations of resistant bacterias and other super-bugs in Ukraine’s war filled hospitals with so many mutilated and severely wounded soldiers. The Ukrainian war comes after its sponsors in many forms: so also in the form of dangers of infections in the medical infrastructures.

Hospitals worldwide try always to isolate patients infected with drug resistant bacterias, so called super-bugs. In the hospitals in Ukraine, where the number of wounded soldiers explodes and the hospitals have not sufficient capacities, super-bugs remain often unchecked and not isolated, spreading in the hospitals and all over the country, eventually into other countries. As mainly medication comes from the West, the super-bugs mutate and get resistant to the Western drugs.

In the ordinary case, when a patient is detected with a super-bug, he is isolated in a separate room and people cannot access the room without special protection cloths. This merely is impossible in Ukraine. Visitors without protection, even if not infected, will carry the super-bugs on their unprotected skin, cloths, hair outside into the cities and the country. If they travel abroad, the super-bugs may find their way into other countries. Considering the intense travels between Ukraine, and in particular, Western European countries of refuge, the risk of spreading super-bugs increased, so to unserstand the BBC report.

Countries with weak medical systems and limited capacities will be confronted with rising problems resulting from mutated super-bugs. The BBC report is an alarm call to the public, worldwide. The war in Ukraine has other, unpredictable consequences for the rest of the World.
