Katarzyna Jachimowicz, a Polish family physician working in Norway, became the first medical professional in the country fired because she exercised her conscience rights.

Dr. Jachimowicz has refused to surrender to government officials who wanted her to abandon her moral standards regarding the sanctity of life. Instead, she is fighting for freedom and tolerance for family doctors.

“I never asked for this [role],” Jachimowicz said in an interview with deon.pl. “I simply wanted to be a regular family doctor. I found myself with a choice and couldn’t act differently.”

Jachimowicz is a highly trained professional with more than 20 years of experience. She also speaks Polish, Russian, and Norwegian, and reads English. Those skills made her an asset for Norwegian patients and immigrants. The country of five million has a shortage of medical professionals, especially outside the cities, and therefore depends on non-Norwegians to pick up the slack.
