Krasnodar, February 7. A 42-year-old resident of Rostov, who was injured along with her family during a UAV attack in Novorossiysk in May of last year, has been discharged from the City Emergency Hospital in Rostov-on-Don. The victim spent more than 190 days on a ventilator.
Immediately after the incident, medical assistance was provided to the family by doctors in Novorossiysk and Krasnodar, after which the victims were transported to Rostov-on-Don. The patient was diagnosed with an extremely severe combined mine-blast injury, multiple fractures, and burns requiring skin grafts, according to the regional health ministry.
A team of doctors fought for the woman’s life. The woman has been discharged for outpatient observation and referred for further rehabilitation. She now faces a lengthy recovery process.
Krasnodar
Krasnodar is a major city in southern Russia, founded in 1793 by Catherine the Great as a fortress and named Yekaterinodar (“Catherine’s Gift”) to guard the empire’s southern borders. It was renamed Krasnodar (“Red Gift”) in 1920 following the Russian Civil War and today serves as the cultural and economic hub of the Kuban region, known for its Cossack heritage.
Novorossiysk
Novorossiysk is a major port city on Russia’s Black Sea coast, founded in 1838 as a naval fortress. It played a crucial role during World War II, famously withstanding a 225-day siege in 1942-43, for which it was later awarded the title “Hero City.” Today, it remains a vital hub for shipping and cement production, with memorials like Malaya Zemlya commemorating its wartime history.
Rostov-on-Don
Rostov-on-Don is a major port city in southwestern Russia, founded in 1749 as a customs post and fortress by decree of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. It grew into a vital commercial and transportation hub for the Russian Empire, particularly for trade on the Don River and the Sea of Azov. Today, it is known as the “Gateway to the Caucasus” and is a bustling cultural and economic center of southern Russia.
City Emergency Hospital
The City Emergency Hospital is a modern medical facility designed to provide urgent and critical care services to urban populations. While specific historical details vary by location, such hospitals typically emerged in the 20th century alongside advancements in emergency medicine and the growing need for centralized trauma response in major cities. Its core mission remains the rapid treatment of acute illnesses and injuries, operating around the clock as a key part of a city’s public health infrastructure.
Rostov
Rostov, often called Rostov the Great, is one of Russia’s oldest towns, founded in the 9th century and first mentioned in chronicles in 862 AD. It is best known for its magnificent Rostov Kremlin, a 17th-century fortress complex with stunning churches and a bell tower, which served as the residence of the powerful metropolitan bishops rather than having a primary military purpose. Today, it is a major tourist destination on the Golden Ring route, celebrated for its preserved medieval architecture and historical significance.
