After the accident of the Polish coach in Hungary, the victims and their families are to receive medical, consular and intellectual assistance. 12 people died, respective twelve were injured, and 40 people remained under the care of doctors. For you it is an obligation: fast care, transport to the country and reliable information for families.
Medical and consular assistance after the accident
The Polish coach crashed at night from 15 to 16 August in the Mezőkeresztes area, on the M3 motorway towards Nyíregyházy. As he stated Podkarpackie Provincial OfficeA pilgrimage from Podkarpacie came back from Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to the office, 12 people were killed, respective twelve were injured, and 40 people remained under medical care.
This is the minute where the state must act without hold and without chaos. In the WP News Stanislaw Bukowic assured that the victims of the accident and their families can number on the support of doctors and diplomatic services. It is worth to specify: Bukowiec is the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure, not the Deputy Head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs. With specified a tragedy, the precision of names and functions is besides part of respect for families.
Medical experts will measure who can return to Poland
After the disaster, a mission was launched involving representatives of the state and medical team. Rzeczpospolita, for PAP, stated that six specialists were recommended in Hungary: anesthesiologist, surgeon, orthopedist and 3 paramedics. Their task is to measure the condition of the injured and find who can be safely transported to the country.
DN wrote earlier about that after the M3 crash government launches medical-consular mission. It's not just a procedure. For families waiting for news, all hr counts: information, contact with a loved one, decision of doctors, the anticipation of returning to Poland. The state exists so as not to leave a citizen alone in a abroad infirmary at a time like this.
Hospitals and transport to the country
According to information provided after medical briefing, places for injured people in Poland are being prepared. In the first place, these are to be facilities close to the place of residence of the victims, especially in Podkarpackie Voivodeship. The reserve besides indicated high-specialistic centres in Warsaw, including the Ministry of abroad Affairs infirmary and the Military Medical Institute at Szaserów.
Podkarpackie Provincial Office informed on 17 August that preparation for transport of victims to Poland. It's the hardest part of helping due to the fact that it can't be a show of political activity. It should be a doctor's decision. The wounded request stableness and then travel. A rush without medical sense would be another risk.
Psychologists for Families
The Podkarpackie Voivodeship Teresa Kubas-Hul launched psychological assistance for victims and their relatives. A ten-person group of psychologists from the Regional household Assistance Centres in Rzeszów, Strzyżów, Brzozów and Rzeżajsk were put at their disposal. As of Monday, they are expected to keep further districts, including Jasielski, Krosnoński, Sanotsky and the city of Rzeszów.
This support isn't an addition to a rescue. Families of victims and wounded request more than just documents, transportation and public telephones. They request a man to aid them go through the first hours of information about the death or severe condition of the loved one. In the tragedy of pilgrims from Podkarpacie, the spiritual and household dimension is peculiarly strong. He needs to be respected.
Compensation and liability of the carrier
A separate track is simply a financial matter. Money.pl stated that victims and their loved ones may claim from the vehicle's OC, and that the removal of harm is to be borne by the PZU. This does not replace state aid on the spot. This is simply a later stage: compensation, treatment costs, rehabilitation, pensions and compensation for entitled persons.
With that many victims, money can't fix the loss. However, they can defend families from a second blow: treatment, rehabilitation, and income loss. The state should so guarantee that victims do not stray between institutions. Equally crucial will be transport safety checks. Bukovic spoke after the tragedy about additional bus checks; DN has already noted that the accident has become State stress-test.
The State is to pass the attendance test
In specified matters, a political spectacle must not be built. There are casualties, wounded, families, and a local community that will carry a long burden this night. The function of the state is: consul, physician, psychologist, transport, information, legal order. Quiet, effective, to the end.
This is simply a real stake for Poles. erstwhile our citizens die or fight for their lives abroad, they cannot become petents lost between telephone numbers. The national state recognizes itself just after it can stand by its own in the hr of trial.
