Spain hands Ukraine 20 Homedoctor medical robots

Spain-based NGO Help to Ukraine has delivered to Ukraine 20 robots for remote examination of patients.

This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Health, according to Ukrinform.

"With the use of these robots, Ukrainian-speaking doctors in Spain, and later Ukrainian doctors, will be able to remotely examine and consult Ukrainian patients in the regions of the country that are the most difficult to access amid the war," the statement reads.

Maria Karchevych, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Health for Digital Development noted that thanks to this equipment, "a patient will be able to quickly run a basic health check – measure temperature, pressure, saturation, perform an ECG and other tests, while a doctor will quickly see the results of these tests and provide advice."
