THE URGENT NEED FOR THE CLINIC
Last year, over 30,000 people spent Rosh HaShanah by the gravesite of Rebbe Nachman in Uman. The sheer number of people dictates careful planning and foresight to cope with the unique medical challenges.Uman is located in the middle of a medical desert, with no medical facilities in the area. The closest hospital is 3 hours away in Kiev and even there, the medical care is greatly outdated. Because of the economic and political situation in Uman, there is no possibility to use local ambulances or even meager medical assistance. Last year the Uman Emergency Clinic dealt with approximently 2500 incidents, including a number of serious cases such as injuries, heart attacks and incidents related to diabetes and high blood pressure. Thus, a special emergency and first aid clinic in Uman for Rosh HaShanah is mandatory and an issue of pikuach nefesh.
