Dr. Dymond, Ontario's Mini- ster of Health, said he was most impressed with two things: the great emphasis put on the train- ing of personnel and the organ- ization of the ambulance service. On' The Times' request, Dr. Dymond put together some of his observations which he de- scribes as necessarily "super- ficial" because he had only two weeks in Russia. Here is an edited version of those observations: I was much impressed with the great emphasis put on the training of professional per- sonnel, The figures we were given showed one doctor to 550 population, as against the ratio for Ontario of one, doctor to 776 population. However, it was im- possible to judge the quality of medical education. Ten years elementary and secondary school education are required for entrance to the Faculty of Medicine, which un- like our country, is not associ- ated with any university. Then six years general medical edu- cation follow before graduation. In the case of those who choose to follow "sanitation" (public health) Specialist standing is take further training after grad- uation as a doctor. This may be effected by doing a two-year interneship; such a Doctor may then work as a_ 'Practical Specialist", or he may do a three-year course of post-gradu- ate study and on the successful completion of this, he may then practise his speciality and also engage in special research work. From questioning the repre- sentative of the Health Ministry of the Ukraine, I got the impression that all doctors have to practice general medicine for from 3 to 5 years before speci- alization, This is something I have personally advocated here for a long time, because I believe it to be essential to the development of goed practi- tioners. Continuing education is. com- pulsory for all practitioners, and after five years in practice, every doctor must enroll in some refresher course. In a state where everything is con- trolled, the mechanics of this are. relatively. simple. The doctor is just transferred to duty at the centre where the refresher work is given. In the city of Kiev, the third largest in the Soviet Union, with a population of some 1.5 million, we saw the ambulance service in operation and had the system is not necessary to pay for such calls. They are free. In Kiev this number connects the caller with the central ambulance office. Every. call is' tape- recorded. The essential information is secured and the ambulance dis- patched, either from the central headquarters or one of the six sub-stations throughout the city. It was stated that in _almost every case, an ambulance\would reach the patient within' five minutes. It might be well to note here that there is not 'the volume of auto and other street traffic in Russian cities that we encounter in Ontario, AMBULANCES AVAILABLE At the Central Headquarters special ambulances are avail- able to deal with particular types of emergencies such as: patients in shock; patients with heart attacks; cerebral acci- dents; acute psychiatric cases; pediatric cases and maternity cases. Altogether in Kiev there are 100 ambulances, 12 of which have a specialized function, and 1200 to 1300 calls are answered daily. Judged by our practices and standards there is a very great overuse of ambulances in Russia. But it must be remem- staff of three in addition to the driver, namely: a doctor, a feldsher and a nurse. A feldsher- is a person with more training than a nurse, but less than a doctor. The physical equipment, vehicles, stretchers, judged by our standards, all appeared to be poor; but emphasis here, too, is on the functional, which, of course, is or should be of para- mount importance. NOT ABANDONED In psychiatry, the concept in Russia is very: much like that in Ontario. The mentally dis- turbed patient is il] and is treat- ed as such, But they have large mental hospitals for their. pa- tients and gave no evidence of abandoning them. It was impos- sible to glean from thdse to whom we spoke, if psychiatric units in general hospitals were in the current program. We did conclude, however, that in Russia, as here in. On- tario, the problem of mental health and disturbance is a very great health and social problem, that many questions remain unanswered, but health workers there, as here, are searching and seeking for these answers, It was interesting to learn (though not unexpected) that they and we are aiming for to note that the same sort of stigma attaches to mental ill- ness there as we see here still, in these days of enlightened in- formation In mental retardation and emotional disturbance in chil- dren, the problems are just as great and perplexing as they are here, As in Ontario, mental retardation is the combined re- sponsibility of health, education and welfare, with health the co- ordinating agency Like ourselves, there is diver- gence of opinion as to how the emotionally disturbed should be dealt. with; although there ap- pears to be a greater tendency to institutionalize in Russia, This may have something to do with their way of life, e.g. most mothers appear to work outside of the home and so cannot pro- vide the care and attention needed by those children, NO EASY SOLUTION It was generally agreed that no easy or pat solution is fo be found for those problemy, but the education and medical au- thorities with whom we talked, all emphasized that hope only could lie in continuing study and research, and that they. (at least) were not impressed with the few who believe that there is an easy solution to the com- plex problems involved, * ation in Moscow, however, dif- fers quite greatly in that testing of materials, drugs, clothing material, plastics and such is the responsibility of the Depart- ment of Sanitation and Epi- demiology. In Canada, this responsibility lies with the federal govern- ment, I was impressed with the responsibility in public housing given to the Department of Pub- lic Health and. the authority given the department. No building can proceed till it has been approved by the health department and if the develop- er should choose, as sometimes happens, to ignore the recom- mendations of the Department of Health, financing of the pro- gram will be stopped imme- diately..and not begun again until the health department is satisfied with the project, and that its recommendations are being followed. This, of course, is more possible in a totalitarian state, than in a free society, Medical research in Russia is, directed and controlled by the U.S.S.R. Academy of Medical Sciences. This body was estab- lished in 1944, was given re- sponsibility for research, co- ordination, long-term planning of. medical research and train- ing of research workers in med- icine and the related sciences. been carefully planned, At the end of the day there The Oshawa Antique C-arrjwill be a big barn dance to the Club will display their vehiclesimusic of Roy Godfrey. 4 |
