Mikhail Myasnikovich showed interest in the developments of Vitebsk scientists for the Belarusian pharmaceutical industry

Chairman of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus Mikhail Myasnikovich visited the Vitebsk region. The first stop on his working trip was VSMU, which he visited for the first time, but, as he admitted, he had heard many positive things about this university before. He highly appreciated the level of training of personnel for domestic practical healthcare and scientific research of the alma mater of many Belarusian doctors.

The statesman identified the Year of Culture as the main topic of his speech to the student and faculty audience. Among the upcoming significant cultural events of the country, he named the 25th anniversary of the festival "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" and the 500th anniversary of the publication of the first book by Francysk Skaryna, which have a wide resonance not only within the region, Belarus, but also in other countries.

At the same time, during the tour of the institution, Mikhail Myasnikovich became interested in the development of the pharmaceutical industry, including scientific and practical activities and the university's research projects in this area.

At the same time, he

expressed the opinion on the need to train not only pharmacists, but also pharmacologists, biologists, chemists, biotechnologists who could create original medicinal drugs. And precisely the Vitebsk medical university, in the opinion of the statesman, can become a pioneer in this endeavor with the support of the Ministry of Health.

– The domestic pharmaceutical industry without the ability to create unique drugs will lag behind. And higher education is directly linked to the innovative development of the country, – summed up Mikhail Vladimirovich.

Also, during his visit to the northern region, the head of the upper house of parliament visited the educational, scientific and production complex of the university, the enterprise "SIVital", where unique test systems are being developed, and the "Nativita" CJSC plant under construction in Beshenkovichi for the production of medicinal drugs"Nativita".
