Instead of respecting the privacy, dignity, and emotional state of a cancer patient, she was placed in front of the camera to be used as political propaganda props.
A woman facing one of the most difficult battles of her life does not need to be turned into marketing material for the government. The hospital is not a television studio and the patient is not a figure for optimistic videos with emojis and inspiring music.
The linear accelerator is not anyone's personal gift. It is an investment that should have been made long ago with citizens' money and the state's obligation to the people who suffer every day in the corridors of the Oncology Department.
Propaganda begins where human sensitivity ends: when the patient's plight is used for imagery, when the disease is included in the montage, and when suffering serves as the backdrop for the government's moral campaign.
Patients need treatment, peace and dignity. Not cameras in their faces at the most fragile moment of their lives.
