Health Ministry denies N1 permission to record doctor’s statement

An N1 reporter contacted the CEO of the Batajnica COVID hospital and the doctor said she was willing to speak for N1 but had to follow procedure which meant that she had to ask the Health Ministry for help. The ministry press service did not respond to phone calls, text messages or emails requesting permission to record the doctor’s statement in front of the hospital.

This is not the first time that the Health Ministry has denied N1 permission to report on medical issues. The latest case was denial of permission to N1 for a report on the vaccination post at the Stadion shopping mall. The ministry did not respond to repeated request for permission in that case.
