May 27, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. Patients can now get rid of uneven fat deposits at the hospital in Barani (Orsha district). Local plastic surgeons have started performing abdominoplasty, the head of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee's Healthcare Department, Yury Derkach, told a BELTA correspondent. The next city where a state medical institution will provide this type of service to those seeking slimness with the help of a scalpel will be the hospital in Glubokoye. Glubokoye doctors have undergone specialization, the hospital is preparing to obtain a license and has developed a business plan for the development of this new direction for itself. As Yury Derkach noted, the expansion of such operations, which are non-traditional for district hospitals, is driven by the need to develop the export of medical services. There is a demand for such operations, and Belarusian doctors have established themselves as highly qualified specialists. According to data for January-April of the current year, the growth rate of service exports was 148% compared to the same period in 2009. To advertise their services, Vitebsk medics actively use the Internet and advertise themselves on websites in the Baltic countries and Poland. An agreement has been concluded for the provision of paid services with the Vita medical center in Velikiye Luki (Russian Federation). The list of paid medical services is constantly expanding. Since the beginning of the year alone, 6 types have been introduced, while in 2009 - 10. Along with modern high-tech types of medical care, a wide range of diagnostic services is provided. -0-
