A 13-year-old boy was brought to Salzburg for a week after a children’s clinic in Kiev was destroyed by a Russian missile attack. The child with cancer is now being treated there.
A week after the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kiev was destroyed by a Russian missile strike, Austria admitted two children with cancer. According to the Health Ministry, a 13-year-old boy and his mother were flown to the University Hospital of Salzburg. A 12-year-old boy was taken to the regional hospital in Graz on Monday, also accompanied by a parent.
80 people treated in Austria
Health Minister Johannes Rauch (Greens) offered Ukraine support immediately after the attack on the special clinic. Since the outbreak of the war, a total of 80 seriously ill people have been brought from Ukraine to Austria. The transports were organized by the Ministries of the Interior, Health and Foreign Affairs. Medical care is the responsibility of the federal states, it is said.
“The attack on a children’s hospital in Kiev was a despicable Russian war crime. I would like to thank my colleagues Alexander Schallenberg and Gerhard Karner and the states for immediately organizing the urgently needed help for these children,” Rauch explains.
