Belarus to help African countries to develop healthcare sector

29.01.2024

Belarus will assist African countries in developing the healthcare sector, Belarusian Healthcare Minister Aleksandr Khodzhayev said in an interview with the Belarus 1 TV channel on 28 January, BelTA has learned.

The head of state emphasized the importance of enhancing services exports, and assisting African countries in improving their healthcare systems as he appointed Aleksandr Khodzhayev new minister. "I didn't have to start from scratch. The delegations have worked out all the aspects of interaction; people have been put in charge of cooperation. We are going to analyze the agreements, to set new targets for ourselves and to monitor them closely to see the effectiveness of the work in this or that direction," the minister said.

The matter is about cooperation with Equatorial Guinea, Zimbabwe and others. "The African region is partly new to us in terms of medical competencies. The interest of these countries in this direction is very high. Our pharmaceutical industry needs to promote its services, to build up exports. Many of our services will be in demand in African countries, including the training of specialists," Aleksandr Khodzhayev noted.
