Sneznoye Hospital (Donetsk Oblast) Ukraine.
Inspired by two great movies; “Import Export” by Ulrich Seidl and “Working Man’s Death” by the late Michael Glauwogger I travelled through the eastern part of Ukraine long before the MH17 disaster. (The city of Sneznoye is close to the place where, allegedly, the airplane was shot down). This series shows the very poor condition of the hospital in which the local patients get their treatment. Nurses, doctors and surgeons do their day to day
work in poorly equipped places of treatment.
