Also, the LĀB board will ask law enforcement institutions to assess whether Medņas’ public statements on social networks contain possible hate speech.
The members of the board have recognized that this type of communication is reprehensible and should be critically evaluated both from the point of view of the threat to public health and taking into account the incorrect and offended statements about colleagues made in public.
“Regulated and supervised professional responsibility, unfortunately, does not protect society from the uncontrolled tendency of some individuals to spread lies and insults in the public space,” the association emphasizes.
Therefore, LĀB invites patients to trust healthcare professionals and evidence-based medical knowledge, as well as to actively cooperate with medical personnel who implement it in their practice.
A medical practitioner is entitled to work in the profession if he is registered in the Register of Medical Practitioners and Medical Support Persons. Registration is carried out by the Health Inspectorate. The registration deadline for the hunter is currently until October 17, 2025, according to the information on the inspection’s website.
On the other hand, the certification of doctors is carried out by LĀB. The Association’s Certification Council is also the one that makes a decision on the suspension or cancellation of issued certificates of medical practitioners.
It has already been reported that a four-year-old boy died on September 16 after contracting diphtheria. The boy was not vaccinated against diphtheria.
Police later arrested the boy’s parents for taking their two other children, who were also unvaccinated and contracted diphtheria, from the hospital, and the children were taken back to the hospital.
Ågenskalns clinic doctor Mednis reported on the “Telegram” website on Saturday morning that the parents of children suffering from diphtheria used their rights stipulated in the Patient Rights Act and made a decision to refuse further “treatment” of their daughters, informed the staff about this and removed the children from the hospital.
“Such a decision is based on the justified concerns of the parents that the health and life of the daughters may also be harmed, as happened with the little brother, who was “treated” to death in the opinion of the parents,” the statement said.
