Grzesiowski will lose his powers? Andrusiewicz comments
On Wednesday (April 7), a spokesman for the Ministry of Health commented on the matter. In the program “Tlit” of Wirtualna Polska, he denied that the actions taken should lead to Grzesiowski being deprived of the doctor’s title.
– Nobody wants to deprive anyone of the right to practice. I would like to ask you to read the application. The minister referred the case to a peers’ court, a medical court. There is not a word there about depriving anyone of the right to practice, he said.
Andrusiewicz also criticized prof. Wojciech Maksymowicz, MP from the Agreement and an active doctor, who a few days earlier, in the same program, made the information public.
– Minister Maksymowicz should familiarize himself with the situation before he takes the floor. Recently, he often speaks without knowing any facts – said Andrusiewicz.
When asked about the activity of dr. Grzesiowski, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health replied:
– Unfortunately, Dr. Grzesiowski repeatedly spoke about the situation of GiS in the whole country. According to Minister Saczki, he depreciated human work, and no one should depreciate anyone’s work in the time of the epidemic. Just as Dr. Grzesiowski has the right to evaluate other institutions, other institutions have the right to evaluate Dr. Grzesiowski – said Andrusiewicz.
