The State Duma appreciated the proposal to restrict the right of the media to publish information about the treatment of known patients

Bessarab considers this proposal absolutely correct.

“Today it’s some sort of celebrity stalking.

We must not forget about medical confidentiality.

On what basis do the media draw conclusions and assumptions?

It’s terrible when a person who is loved by the whole country and his relatives have to endure the moral pain inflicted on him, ”said the deputy.

At the same time, Tumusov recalled that a doctor does not have the right to "publish, make public information about the state of health, about the characteristics of the disease of any person."

Earlier it became known that Anton Orlov, director of the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Politics, proposed limiting the right of the media to publish information about the treatment of known patients.

RT has a copy of the letter addressed to the head of the Ministry of Digital Development Maksut Shadayev.
