Viktoria Mostovenko, the mother of Sofia, a patient with a complex form of epilepsy, whose name is in the above-mentioned draft ("Law for Sofia"), stated this on Facebook.
"As the mother of a seriously ill child, I ask you to pass a draft law on medical cannabis, named after Sofia and which has the number 5596. This is a draft law on medical cannabis, which will allow my child to improve her quality of life and live without pain," she said in the video message.
According to the Patients of Ukraine Charitable Foundation, more than 2 million patients with oncology, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, PTSD, palliative patients, and about 20,000 children suffering from severe epilepsy are waiting for cannabis to be legalized in Ukraine. Access to drugs based on medical cannabis significantly improves the quality of life of such patients, relieves them of prolonged pain.
Viktoria Mostovenko is currently getting medical cannabis oil for her daughter from abroad.
These drugs are allowed in more than 60 countries around the world, but in Ukraine, people who get them for their relatives are actually criminals, because the drugs are still banned.
The girl's mother explains that without these drugs, her daughter's body twists for many hours every day.
"That's why I have to be outlawed. I have to look for ways to buy this medication for my child and save her every day," she said.
