March 30, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. During the concerts of the XX International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk", a phoniatrist will be on duty backstage for the first time, reported the head of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee's Healthcare Department, Yuri Derkach, to a BELTA correspondent. Previously, the doctor most in demand by singers was called when needed. Now, an otolaryngologist-phoniatrist will be able to provide emergency care as quickly as possible. And for those patients who require full treatment, a special office with new equipment will be created at the otolaryngology department of the 1st city hospital. Its procurement will be carried out in the near future. As Yuri Derkach emphasized, this modern otolaryngology office will serve not only star patients but also ordinary ones. For artists, healthy throat and ear are the key to success, so the best Vitebsk ENT doctors from the regional hospital and city hospital No. 1 will be working almost around the clock during the festival and are ready to help at the first sign of need. By the way, appeals to them are not uncommon. For example, at the last festival alone, seven performers turned to one of the most respected doctors among singers - the head of the otolaryngology department of the 1st Vitebsk city hospital, Alexander Zatoloka. -0-
