In Ufa, the coordinator of the hunger strike of doctors Andrei Konoval is beaten

Andrei Konoval, the Office of Doctors, was attacked in Ufa. He reported this on his blog, publishing the results of a medical examination.

Konoval was beaten by two unknowns near the house in which the headquarters of the trade union committee "Action" is located. He was lured into the street under the pretext of the need to rearrange the car, which supposedly interfered with the unloading of other transport. According to the trade union activist, one of the attackers said: "Once again you will come to Ufa, we will smear it." Konoval was taken to the hospital, where he recorded a concussion. After that, he turned to the police.

“In general, it impressed that it was an intimidation action. It is characteristic that most of the blows had to be on the head. Apparently, the“ customer ”set the task to overhauize the face overwhelm, but the performers did not very successfully deal with this,” Konoval writes.

In Ufa, Konoval advises the trade union asset of the Ufa ambulance station and is negotiating with the station management. In particular, the trade union committee is trying to prevent the adoption of a new collective agreement that infringes the right of workers.

According to Konoval, his local associates are suspected of involvement in the attack by the leadership of the Ufa SSMP, in particular, the chief physician of the station of Marat Ziganshin.

In September, 20 SSMP employees held a hunger strike . In their appeal, protesters said they were "against low wages and inaction of officials in a situation of destroying the system of high -quality provision of emergency medical care in the capital of Bashkortostan."

Of the approximately 1000 employees of visiting brigades, the participants in the action noted, about 200 were left work, and the dismissal continues. “At the moment, 55 percent of the on -site brigades are not equipped in accordance with federal standards,” the protesters emphasized. “Instead of two employees, he is sent for trips, and if necessary, he simply cannot technically provide the necessary assistance in full.”

Doctors noticed that despite the hunger strike, they will continue their work. "A daily medical examination will be organized," they wrote. They asked the acting The heads of the region Rustem Khamitov take the situation for personal control.

On September 10, protesters participated in two meetings with officials. In the first, the vice-mayor of Ufa Alfira Bakieva took part. At the meeting "it was quite constructive," Konoval noted. Otherwise, the meeting with the acting ended Head of the Republican Ministry of Health Alexander Afanasyev. "The minister demonstrated complete indifference to the issues posed by the hunger strike participants, made it clear that he would not engage in their solution," Konoval said.
