Lawmaker Arda fails to respond to his voters

Residents of the village of Byarozauka in the Lida district sent an appeal to their representatives in the House of Representatives Mikhail Arda, asking to respond with his reaction to the fact that patients at the local clinic were forced to spend their own money to buy medicines.  This confronts Article 45 in the Constitution of Belarus which says: "Citizens of the Republic of Belarus are entitled to the guaranteed right to health care, including free treatment at state-owned health care facilities", the authors of the appeal stressed.

However, instead of responding to his voters, Arda forwarded the letter to health minister Vasil Zharko without any reaction from him or the ministry.
