Brest: "Fair World" opposes the introduction of service fees in polyclinics
The Brest regional branch of the Belarusian Leftist Party "Fair World" supported the protest of the local social-democrats against the proposal to introduce a fee for visitors of polyclinics.
This decision was
taken during the reporting conference of the regional structure of
the "Fair World", whose participants unanimously protested
against the intentions of the state authorities to introduce such
fees, voiced by the vice-prime-minster Anatol Tozik and the head of
the Baranavichy Executive Committee Viktar Dzichkouski.
As
stated by the party activist Liudmila Dzenisenka, members of the
"Fair World" have started collecting signatures under a
protest note in the Brest district. According to them, the
introduction of the service fee contradicts the Constitution which
guarantees all citizens the right to health care. "The officials
must know that one needs to hold a national referendum to amend the
Constitution," stated Mrs. Dzenisenka.
