For residents of Poznyaky, this center is a vital primary care facility. According to local media, the clinic serves approximately 15,000 patients. This includes, in particular, children, the elderly, and residents with limited mobility, for whom access to medical care close to home is of particular importance.
Supporting the petition is important because closing or repurposing the clinic could make it harder to see family doctors, increase the burden on other healthcare facilities in the Darnytskyi district, and create additional difficulties for patients who regularly seek primary care.
The authors of the petition also urge that no decision regarding the future of the facility be made without open discussion with the community and without a clear alternative for district residents.
