Death of mobilized pediatrician from Kharkiv region: Ground Forces began an investigation into the death of a doctor-shooter
The command of the Ground Forces has started an investigation into the death of Kharkiv-born pediatrician Igor Revenka, who was mobilized in 25 September. The man, who had the military-occupational specialty of a physician and experience working in an ambulance, was appointed to the position of shooter-assistant grenadier.
On 16 October he died in a hospital in Dnipro.
His daughter wrote on Threads: “Today I learned that my stepfather has died. He was one of the best pediatricians in Kharkiv. He saved many people during COVID -19. Two weeks after he was drafted by the Territorial Defense, we were informed of his death.”
The incident sparked anger in society and among the military. Battalion commander “Wolves Da Vinci” Serhiy Filimonov commented: “I have a perfectly logical question: in what condition is the medical service of this regiment if a qualified doctor is pulled into assault actions? Is the medical support there so good that it allows losing such specialists? ... A professional doctor in the right place can save hundreds of lives. And this is also a matter of the unit’s combat readiness,” he wrote.
In the Ground Forces they promise to check all stages: from medical commission and mobilization to training and the causes of death.
