Ivanovo Department of Health made a loud statement about the problems of patients

The Ivanovo Department of Health released a resonant post in social networks in which he asked residents not to endure problems in the media. The Ministry referred to medical secrecy and the lack of media administrative powers.

Please note that the media is not a body responsible for medical or administrative tasks. Publishing the details of your treatment in the media will not speed up the solution of the problem, but with a high probability will lead to the disclosure of medical confidentiality, which is expressly prohibited by current legislation. We are not entitled to comment on such cases publicly for this reason, the ministry said.

But journalists in the region believe that publicity often helps protect patients’ rights. An example is the recent situation in the Lukhsky district, where only after the intervention of the prosecutor’s office and media coverage, it was possible to achieve the issuance of a vital medicine to a 15-year-old teenager, which the Department of Health did not buy in time.
