Slonim: harassment of Ivan Sheha
The administration of the Slonim
district hospital, namely – the chief physician Yury Piatselski,
started to exert pressure on the trauma surgeon Ivan Sheha. The
hospital administration controls him from all sides and is looking
forward to the end of his labor contract (27 June) to expel him from
the hospital as soon as possible. Earlier, Ivan Sheha was proposed to
be employed in the neighboring district, but recently has received a
notice that his services as a doctor are not needed.
Bear in
mind that Ivan Sheha worked in the Slonim district hospital for 30
years. He is an experienced specialist of the highest category,
well-known in the Slonim and the neighboring districts. He is still
full of strength and energy to continue his work, even though he
turned 60 years old on 25 March. At first, the chief doctor of the
Slonim hospital Yury Piatselski extended his labor contract for one
year, but then suddenly canceled it, despite of the lack of medics of
almost all specialties in Slonim.
Slonim activists are
actively collecting signatures of residents in favor of Mr. Sheha.
They have collected more than 1,000 signatures and intend to hold
several thousand signatures under the petition to allow the medic
continue his work at the Slonim hospital.
The petitions with
signatures are being sent to the Slonim District Executive Committee,
the Hrodna Regional Executive Committee, the Ministry of Health Care
and the the administration of the President of Belarus.
