Doctors and teachers are the mirror of any state! It was stated today by the President while visiting (on the eve of the Medical Worker's Day) the 2nd City Clinical Children's Hospital in Minsk. Today is the 70th anniversary of this institution. In the morning, Alexander Lukashenko sent his best wishes to the hospital staff and a couple of hours later he arrived at the hospital to see with his own eyes what has been done in recent years to improve medical care for the little patients. The pandemic has not reduced attention to other diseases (the head of state was assured by the head doctor of the hospital). Today, there are more than two hundred beds and more than 10 departments. Three republican centres have been set up at the hospital, where patients with severe diseases are treated (nephrology and renal replacement therapy, urology and endocrinology). A new building is planned for even better and more comprehensive care. The old building will be used for other health care institutions
Alexander Lukashenko visited several wards of the hospital. The second children's hospital was the first in the country to introduce the internationally renowned methods of kidney transplantation. The organ has been awaited here for about six months, and during that time, the children will receive substitutive therapy. The President also visited a local diabetes school, talked to the little patients and gave them presents.

certificate for purchasing a high-class ultrasound machine. The staff of
the hospital presented Alexander Lukashenko with a book, which tells
about the history of the hospital. It is noteworthy that among the
documents published in it is the President's order to develop the
hospital's material and technical base. It is symbolic that it was
signed exactly 25 years ago.
