The respected doctor was on a call with Minister of Health for the Krasnoyarsk region Boris Nemik on Saturday at the time of the fall.
She is thought to have been against the plan because of a shortage of protective equipment for doctors.
Krasnoyarsk is capital city of the second largest region in the Russian Federation.
The tragedy follows other reports that doctors in a number of Russian regions have quit their jobs in protest over a lack of PPE. »
