The Ministry of Health denies the information that the death of a serviceman in Shovi is related to delayed or improper medical services

The Ministry of Health issues a statement regarding the death of a military serviceman in the disaster zone in Oni, which was presumably caused by a heart attack.

As the agency explains, the emergency situation coordination and emergency aid center brigade arrived at the scene 10 minutes after receiving the notification, but the doctors found the military serviceman dead.

"In connection with the death of a military serviceman, presumably due to a heart attack, during the ongoing work in the disaster area, we clarify that the brigade of the emergency situations coordination and emergency assistance center arrived at the scene within 10 minutes of receiving the notification (10:55 a.m.) (11:05 a.m.), but the doctors, unfortunately, found the soldier dead. Accordingly, the information spread by individual media, as if the death of a military serviceman is related to delayed or improper medical services, is not true and aims to discredit the center for coordination of emergency situations and emergency assistance.

To inform the public, we would like to explain that four ambulance brigades are constantly working in different locations in the disaster area. Also, two ambulances are mobilized near the primary health care centers of Oni and Ambrolauri.

The center for coordination of emergency situations and emergency assistance expresses its grief over the death of a military serviceman and extends condolences to the family members of the deceased," the statement reads.
