The attorney's office did not notice "violations of civil rights" in the closing of the surgery of the hospital in the city of Barnaul. Barnaul's Municipal Hospital No. 5 closed the department for purulent surgery in the chest. Deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Altai Territory Andrey Chernovai (Communist Party of the Russian Federation) appealed to the prosecutor's office. The agency said in response that "the appeal does not contain information about violations of the rights of specific citizens." "And to understand the consequences, you probably have to wait for a patient who won't get help. So far, no such person has been named in the appeal, and there was no reason to check," Chernobay noted on his Telegram channel. - In my opinion, this is the "when they kill you, then call" logic. Only we are talking here about medical care, on which lives depend. Why wait until someone gets hurt instead of checking if closing the branch is such a threat? " The lieutenant said that in the operation of this city hospital he underwent a pneumonectomy in 2018 after a series of lung. The doctors saved his life, and he knows he wasn't the only one. According to the regional government, you can get help in other hospitals. Municipal Hospital No. 5 headed by Tatiana Shliapina. The Minister of Health of the Altai Territory, Dmitry Popov, appointed her in February 2026. The Prosecutor's Office of the Altai Territory is headed by Nikolai Ryabov, who until mid-2026 was the head of the department of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation for Siberia.
