This year has been declared the Year of Quality in Belarus by the decision of the Head of State. Human health depends on high-quality medical care. We provide the necessary medical care, from the smallest village and farm to regional centres and the capital. The built-up medical care system allows us to provide a full range of medical services so that people are proud of the level of medicine in our country. We are working on advanced technologies, there are certain developments and proposals, including the introduction of artificial intelligence, but no matter how it is developed, everything depends on the doctor’s qualifications,” Igor Petrishenko stressed.
