Six year old Sveta Madinov talks to the clinics psychiatrist over the phone. Sveta has spent the last one and a half moth alone in the isolated glace box to prevent infections after her bone marrow transplantation. She suffers from very aggressive cancer. The Chernobyl accident occurred 20 years ago. Many people are still affected and many suffer from the after mass. It is a hidden threat. You cannot se the radiation but you can se the effects of it, says one of the doctors at Minsk Children Hospital In Belarus. The dictatorial land of Belarus is one worst effected countries.
