Belarusian medicine is very famous both at home and abroad due to its high quality and relatively low costs. Every year patients from more than 140 countries come to our country to undergo treatment. This is the most evident indicator of a high level of the development of our medicine. Our doctors are especially famous for their success in the field of surgery and organ transplantation. İn terms of the number of surgeries Belarus has taken the lead over Russia coming up with the USA and France. Our physicians most of all are proud of the fact that women who have undergone organ transplantation then give birth to completely healthy children. Meanwhile, the only woman in the world, who gave birth to two children after undergoing liver and kidney transplantation, lives in Belarus. Also, the infant mortality rate in Belarus is one of the lowest in Europe. Nowadays our doctors operate even on newborn children’s hearts and thus save the smallest lives.
