Dear Dr. Lemye,

 

Good morning, warm greetings to you from Camp Liberty.

I received your email late last night and you had to be here to see the very warm welcome it received by both the medical staff and our patients at early moments.

 

I do appreciate your prompt response to our urgent call. You were quite out-spoken  in reminding GoI that the medical accountability is a very strong instrument of humanity where it comes  in defense of both our medical staff and the patients.

 

I commend the precious work done in line with our ethical standards.

I think in these moments of dark medical blockade, warm responses we receive to our urgent call  are candlelight of hope that ensures Medicine is in the very heart of human rights. As Albert Schweitzer said: “The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion and the will to help others.”

Wish you luck for you and all of the members of Association Belge Des Syndicats Medicaux for the precious work they are doing in serving others.

 

Please allow me to be in touch with you for requesting further support in our endeavors to save life of the patients suffering from violations of their rights.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Hassan Jazayeri M.D.

Over BVAS

Wij staan voor een vrije geneeskunde met een betaalmodel waarin de vergoeding per prestatie de hoofdmoot blijft, aangevuld met forfaits. In de huisartsgeneeskunde bvb. verdedigen we alle praktijkvormen en niet alleen de multidisciplinaire groepspraktijken zoals de concurrenten.

De solowerkende huisarts heeft zijn plaats en moet niet verdrongen worden.

Wat specialisten betreft verdedigen we ook de vrijgevestigde (extramurale) specialisten die in een praktijk buiten het ziekenhuis werken.
