Doctor Who Revealed Truth On Situation In Vitsebsk Summoned To Prosecutor’s Office
NATALLIA LARYJONAVA

Natallia Laryjonava’s colleagues fully support her position.

Doctor of the emergency care hospital Natallia Laryjonava from Vitsebsk reported that on April 1 she was called to the prosecutor's office of the region to provide clarification on the publication, which she posted on the social networks about the situation with the coronavirus in Vitsebsk. The doctor, we recall, said that it “began to get out of hand” and that the indicators that Belarus submits to the WHO are “absolutely mythical,” tut.by reports.

“I received a summons saying that on April 1, at 4 pm I should come to the deputy head of the regional prosecutor’s office so they question me as part of an ongoing check with regard to my post on the Internet,” said Natallia Laryjonava. “They even took me there and back. The staff communicated very politely, with dignity. They asked me whether it was my page on the social network, whether it was me who wrote this post. My testimony was recorded on video and in writing.”

According to the doctor, she was also asked about where she got the information for her publication, and what her conclusions about the situation with the coronavirus in Vitsebsk and the whole country are based on:

- I said that I took the information from conversations with the medical colleagues who see what is happening, and discuss it among themselves. I also graduated from the medical institute where they study epidemiology. All doctors realistically assess the situation now, but they are silent - I do not know why. The prosecutor asked me how many people are ill. I replied that I did not know the exact amount. They also asked about the ill doctors. I called their posts. At the end of the conversation they asked what measures, in my opinion, should be introduced. I said quarantine. And explained why.

According to Natallia, after the publication, Vitsebsk doctors thanked her for her courage:

- Both doctors and nurses almost rushed to hug me, they said: well done! In a professional environment, they fully support me.

Dr. Laryjonava says she was not afraid to make such a public statement:

- When you are facing a possible death - nothing is scary. Everyone around me are doctors: my parents, brothers, sisters, and friends. That is, medicine is my world, my big family. And all the doctors understand what is happening in the country. But the system is stronger. And people are afraid to speak openly. I decided to do it.

The administration of the Vitsebsk City Clinical Emergency Care Hospital reported that no measures would be taken against Natallia Laryjonava for her public position.

- For what? Why should we produce martyrs? So that the people would be mad at us for punishing her? The specialist does not violate labor discipline. And the fact that she expresses her emotions and feelings on the Internet is her right,” said Aliaksandr Vinnikau, deputy chief physician of the Vitsebsk Emergency Care Hospital.

The representative of the administration said that Natallia’s post reflected her private opinion:

- Posts on the Internet now appear out one by one. The position of Natallia Laryjonava is not the position of the Emergency Care Hospital team, not the doctors, but only the private opinion of this employee. My personal opinion on this matter: there is no need to save the world, now just every doctor should work clearly in his workplace - and then everyone will be fine.

Dr. Laryjonava in 1995 graduated from the Therapeutic Faculty of Vitsebsk State Medical University. She has been working in the emergency care hospital for 18 years.
