In the Vladimir region of Gus-Khorostelany, local residents stand in long queues for medicine.
In Gus-Khorostelany, Vladimir region, there are huge queues every day for subsidized medicines. As the local publication "Chesnock" reported, only one worker in one pharmacy dispenses medication, creating a traffic jam. Patients wait for several hours, some on the street, and it is not always possible to get medicine.
According to local residents, there used to be several distribution points in the city, but now they have been united into one. When the drugs arrive, all beneficiaries are called and asked to arrive within five days. If a person does not have time, the medicine is given to someone else. Because of the constant shortage there is congestion.
"I went last month to get medicine for my grandmother, this medicine was supposed to be given in July. In October they called and said they had brought the medicine, I went three days in a row, there was a line of a kilometer, and it never arrived. As a result, I arrived within two days, and they didn't give me the medicine, because one of the residents' time ran out," he said.
At the same time, Governor Alexander Abdeev, on the direct line, reported that things were in order with preferred drugs. According to him, there are actually no delays in issuing drugs; 99.7% of beneficiaries receive them on time.
