Director of Turan agency denies the Department to Manage Territorial Medical Units (DMTMU)

Baku/27.04.21/Turan: "Today I was surprised to read the refutation of the Department to Manage Territorial Medical Units (DMTMU) of the statement of the human rights activist Ogtay Gyulalyev’s son  that the nurses who look after Ogtay will not be able to perform their functions due to not being paid salaries,"  said Mehman Aliyev, Director of Turan News Agency.

Aliyev, who regularly visits Ogtay Gyulalyev for the last month, regularly hears similar statements from nurses.

“The nurses say that until February they were paid extra to look after Gyulalyev, then these payments stopped, and therefore they notified me and my family that they would not fulfill their duties,” he said.

The family's attempts to settle the matter were unsuccessful.

Aliyev was also surprised by the statement of Nizami Nabiyev, the head of the Research Institute of Medical Rehabilitation, who said that doctors are doing everything possible for Gyulalyev's recovery.

“In this regard, I urge Mr. Nabiyev to name the doctors who examined Gyulalyev since his return to Baku from Turkey on November 8, 2020 - to provide the public with the dates of visits by doctors, medical examinations, recommendations, and so on,” he said.

Aliyev said that in more than 5 months, on behalf of the DMTMU, only one doctor visited him at the insistence of the family to decide on the removal of the aspirator (a tube in the throat to remove sputum).

“Perhaps the site unikal.org misinterpreted the message of the DMTMU and Mr. Nagiyev, which disseminated the explanation of the DMTMU. However, if the DMTMU had its own website, and a press service that distributes messages to the press, then there would be no questions that I pose," Aliyev said, expressing the hope that the DMTMU would eliminate these problems and not mislead the public".  — 0—
