Protesters demand vaccination against hepatitis near White House in Bishkek

A rally was held near the building of Parliament in Bishkek. About 20 people gathered for the protest.

Its participants appealed to the President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov.

«We are appealing to you because of hepatitis problem. There is no place left wherever we turn. We ask to provide the population with vaccination. If people get vaccinated, this disease will not spread. Eighty percent of the population suffer from hepatitis. There are cases when eight people in one family have this disease. Secondly, we ask you to lift the moratorium on inspections. Due to the lack of control over dental clinics, beauty salons, medical institutions, hepatitis is spreading,» one of the rally participants said.

Hepatitis is an inflammatory disease of liver, including of viral etiology.
