MINSK, 16 March (BelTA) – Belarus can help other countries develop their healthcare systems, BelTA learned from Oleg Chestnov, WHO's Assistant Director-General for Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health.
“We would like to praise your achievements and emphasize the advantages of the Belarusian healthcare system. For example, today I have taken a look at the cancer registry [a resource containing data on new and previously registered cases of cancer in Belarus]. Not every country has such a registry. For many countries this is a distant future. I believe that Belarus can help other countries develop their healthcare systems,” Oleg Chestnov said.
A delegation of the World Health Organization is on a visit in Minsk on 15-17 March. The experts have come to Belarus to discuss matters related to the control of noncommunicable diseases. Besides, they are expected to consider the possibility of providing Belarus with technical aid to improve control over the risk factors.
