Vintsuk Vyachorka: It is prohibited in Belarus to associate cancer with Chernobyl :: Charter'97 :: News

On suggestion of the BNF Party the Chernobyl Way’s organizing committee started collecting books, toys, clothes, audio and video output etc. as well as money for the children suffering cancer diseases. ”There is a real epidemic of oncology diseases in Belarus but the doctors are prohibited to associate this cancer boom with Chernobyl. And the main thing is that the state can`t find the money for sick people but it is easily found for showing off”, chairman of the BNF Party Vintsuk Vyachorka declared.

“The central streets are luxuriously and wastefully lighted in Minsk, ice palaces and other prestigious constructions have been built all over the country”, the politician says. “But if you come, for example, to the oncology policlinics which is at the ground floor of the Oncology Institute in Baraulyani you will see endless queues of suffering and lethally sick people. You will be surprised of the patience of surgeons who after a long-hour operation (when according to the world-accepted standards the surgeon must have a rest) go to the policlinics to examine patients because there are not enough doctors there”.

Vintsuk Vyachorka is sure that “moral support of the children suffering cancer diseases will slightly strengthen their will for fighting the disease”, the politician says.

Things for children can be brought to the BNF Party headquarters (former 8 Varvasheni Street) and then they will be sent to the Center of Juvenile Oncology in Baraulyani as well as to sick children from Bragin.
