Domestic healthcare is ready to respond to new challenges. The improvement of the system is being discussed at a meeting with the President.

A medical pool, the head of the Ministry of Health, and speakers of both chambers of parliament gathered in the Palace of Independence. The agenda includes discussion of amendments to the laws "On health care" and "On the providing psychological assistance". The basic documents defining the legal basis for the providing of medical care have not been comprehensively revised for about 10 years. During this time, the medical system in Belarus and the world has changed significantly, and the coronavirus pandemic has also introduced new challenges. The President noted that the national health care system withstands this test with dignity.

The Belarusian healthcare system is constantly being improved. The development of medical technologies meets the highest standards: there are over 22 000 cardio-surgical interventions, more than 500 transplants are performed annually. Special attention is paid to personnel. Almost 3 500 young specialists graduate annually.
