In Wuhan, those struggling with life-threatening health issues other than coronavirus say that medical care is nearly impossible to come by. One father described being unable to schedule life-saving surgery for his child born with a rare genetic disease.
Yu had been receiving care in a Wuhan hospital after being diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2014.
Less than a month after Yu's niece says he was forced out of the hospital, his condition had deteriorated to the point where he was in constant pain and could no longer keep food down. He finally received a much-needed surgery to excise a tumor on February 17 but died two days later. One father described being unable to schedule life-saving surgery for his child born with a rare genetic disease.
Parents of a 20-year-old daughter with acute leukemia described how they were stuck in Wuhan, which has been under strict quarantine since January 23, and could not transfer their child to an outside hospital equipped to treat her.
