Healthcare in Belarus

Belarusian healthcare is inexpensive and easily available, although specialized care is rare.

The country has maintained the system of privileged medical service for senior government officials who are entitled to use the hospital of the Department of Presidential Affairs.

There is a small private medicine sector, mostly dentistry.

Some of the services provided by the state attract a charge.
