This category of citizens still remains socially unprotected and deprived of their civil rights. They also plan to promote the return of refugees to their homes by establishing accommodation and employment opportunities in the Chechen Republic. In the previous issues of the bulletin we wrote about the activity of the League for the Protection of Mother and Child. Now we would like to complete the information with new facts. Care of the patients is carried out by the efforts of 3 doctors, a hospital nurse examining at home and nurses on duty.
Plans exist to include a doctor on duty into the staff and also to organize a surgery room.
The organizers of charitable hospital see the need to develop a similar medical facility in the city of Derbent, in a district where receiving medical aid is difficult due to mountainous landscape. So far they were unable to achieve this task due to the lack of support. Members of the League did not remain unaffected by the current situation in Dagestan. In reply to the tragic events taking place they have prepared an appeal to the President of the Russian Federation with an initiative to establish a group for conducting negotiations in order to put an end to the armed conflict. Our organization, Nonviolence International, is currently trying to do its most to avoid a civil conflict in Dagestan which could develop as a result of the ongoing hostilities.
