Health Minister Raisa Bogatyriova on Sept. 3 called on freshmen at a Kyiv medical university to look like 100 years ago to evoke trust among the patients.
“We need to look like doctors did 100 years ago to evoke patients’
trust. No excesses in clothes, hairstyles and perfume. Gel nails,
unimaginable hair color and hairdos from the catwalk are incompatible
with the medical profession,” the minister said. Ironically,
Bogatyriova, a former gynecologist, is nicknamed “Miss Tuning” for
plastic surgeries she allegedly underwent, as well as her manicure,
hairdo and groomed appearance. Bogatyriova has denied undergoing
cosmetic surgeries.
