Ukrainian Health Minister Raisa Bohatyriova has visited participants in Euromaidan protest rallies and law enforcement officers who were injured in clashes on November 30 and December 1 and are now undergoing treatment in Kyiv hospitals.

The minister says there are no serious cases among those patients and all they need is follow-up care.

"These are patients mostly with head injuries, concussion, leg, arm or soft tissue injuries. We've communicated to almost all of them," the ministry's press service quoted Bohatyriova as saying.

She said none of the patients she had talked to had complained about the quality of medical care. "All patients pointed to proper care, high professionalism of doctors and the availability of all they need. Patients also expressed words of support and thanks to all the paramedics who brought them to hospital and provided first aid, and the doctors who work in clinics and hospitals," she said.

In her words, the injured activists and police officers injured in clashes on November 30 (a crackdown on protesters on Kyiv's Independence Square) and December 1 (clashes on Bankova Street close to the Presidential Administration building) are being treated at Kyiv Municipal Emergency First Response Clinical Hospital, Kyiv Municipal Clinical Hospital No. 12 and the Ukrainian Interior Ministry's Central Hospital at the expense of the national budget.
