Health and Safety in Holy See (Vatican City State)

The Vatican has an efficient health care system that addresses the needs of all those residing within the state. The Vatican Pharmacy known as Farmacia Vaticana was founded in 1874 by Eusebio Ludvig Fronmen. The pharmacy caters to around 2000 customers each day.

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.
