The hospital has about two thousand employees.

Tut.by readers have sent an order of the chief doctor of Hrodna University Hospital (ex-regional hospital), which says that the medical staff of the institution will not be allowed to use cell phones, tablets, cameras and camcorders at work. It is also prohibited to use social networks during working hours

The order of the chief physician is dated April 22. The document says that by May 3 it is necessary to hold training sessions with the staff and tell them about the order of disseminating information about the state of health of patients. Hrodna doctors who work at the clinic say that a copy of the order appeared in the hospital's Viber group a few days ago.

- There was a draft of such an order under the previous chief doctor, but there was a ban only on the operating room and photo fixation, - one of the doctors says.

So far, many people have not been familiarized with the order, but, according to the medical staff, some departments have already received a copy of the document - against their signatures.

- There are about two thousand employees at the hospital. In addition, there are students. Some of them have been told orally, without any details, that it would be prohibited to use telephones, but many of them don't know anything about this innovation. However, taking pictures of patients and posting them on the Web has long been forbidden in all medical institutions of the country, - the doctors say. - Nobody uses cell phones in the "dirty" areas. It is prohibited to take phones into the rooms where there is expensive equipment the operation of which can be disturbed by mobile phones. And the doctor will definitely not use the phone during the operation.

The doctors do not know yet how it will work in practice.

- For example, if you post a picture wearing your white coat on the social network - is it a violation or not? You must make an urgent call to a colleague from another hospital - and the order says that you can only use landlines during working hours - how to do it quickly? It is always faster to contact in messengers. So far, everything is not clear.

We could not get a quick comment from the clinic management.
