Failed in the court case due to diabetes complications
In Kamchatka, a young man named Vladimir Dubrovin, who was diagnosed with insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes at the age of 11 in 2016, has successfully fought for his right to necessary medical support.
Vladimir's health issues began at a young age, and he was provided with an insulin pump and necessary supplies by the regional health ministry in Kamchatka. In 2019, he was sent to a federal medical institution where he was fitted with the insulin pump. After regular replacements and necessary supplies, his health improved significantly.
However, Vladimir's situation changed when he turned 18 and lost his child-invalide status, resulting in the cessation of his supplies. Despite his continuous need for the insulin pump, the hospital and regional health ministry denied him further free supplies.
Undeterred, Vladimir appealed to the Kamchatka Regional Court, which ruled in his favour. The court's ruling required the regional health ministry to organise the supply of necessary medical devices, noting that the insulin pump was installed in him for life-saving reasons at the expense of the budget within a high-tech medical aid program.
The court's decision was made by the joint press service of the regional courts in Kamchatka. The appeals court also noted that losing child-invalide status and not having adult invalid status cannot deprive a citizen of the right to necessary medical support.
The court satisfied Vladimir's demands and ordered the respondents to provide him with the necessary medical devices. Without these supplies, the insulin pump becomes useless, and losing access to them would be detrimental to Vladimir's health.
The news about this case was reported by the Kamchatka Information Agency. This victory marks a significant step forward in ensuring the rights of individuals with chronic illnesses are protected and recognised in Russia.
