President raised doctors' salaries
But access to specialists remains a problem
The president announced a salary increase for doctors, as they had demanded. However, in rural areas, people continue to wait for consultations and examinations for long weeks. The country has four designated medical universities, which produce a sufficient number of specialists for a compact nation. According to media reports, the number of doctors in Belarus is one and a half times higher than the European average. There are enough doctors, but finding the right specialist is still difficult—the issue was discussed within the framework of a decision on accepting interns, yet they do not stay. Officials were asked about the reasons for these delays.
The post also notes that this material is being broadcast live and distributed via the official #VNS2025 channel.
