President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, considers unacceptable "window dressing" in all sectors, particularly in public health care system. The head of state declared about that on September 6 during a visit to Ivatsevichi central district hospital. According to the President, nobody needs "window dressing", they need really effective work.

Speaking of public health system, Alexander Lukashenko, cautioned doctors against such «showing off». According to the head of state, today in districts there created all necessary conditions for doctors: there built modern medical facilities, equipped with quality equipment, BelTA informs.
«I believe that for three years we have almost made a revolution in public healthcare. Now it’s time to ask, to demand an output from invested funds. Considerable funds were invested in public healthcare system», Alexander Lukashenko stressed.

In the course of his visits to Ivatsevichi central district hospital, the head of state set a task to complete the program of re-equipment of medical institutions in Belarus in next two years.

Now, at Ivatsevichy example, we will examine the situation with district hospitals», the president said.
