Healthcare in Belarus
Belarus has a poor standard of healthcare and fails to meet its population’s needs. Healthcare was neglected during Communist rule and consequently staffs are poorly trained, technology is outmoded and healthcare buildings are not very hygienic. In addition, Belarus has had to cope with the added pressure of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident, which not only caused many casualties in 1986, but wider medical repercussions years later.
