Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus Igor Petrishenko visited Dubrovno district
The Deputy Prime Minister familiarized himself today with the operation of a summer camp at Secondary School No. 1 in Dubrovno. In the district, the round-the-clock camp will start operating on June 5, while health camps at schools opened their doors on June 1. "We looked at how children's meals, leisure, and activities are organized. It is important for children to gain strength during the summer and be able to absorb educational material afterwards. We plan that about 342,000 boys and girls will be recuperated this year: about 144,000 in round-the-clock health camps and 198,000 in daytime school-based camps," Igor Petrishenko noted.
The Deputy Prime Minister also held a reception for citizens at the Dubrovno District Executive Committee today. Local resident Galina Makarenko said that she contracted coronavirus in the winter. Thanks to the doctors and their attitude towards patients, the pensioner tolerated the illness well, unlike her ward mates – they were put on ventilators. There are two such machines in the hospital, and they are functioning, but their service life has expired. The ultrasound machine is also outdated. The local resident asked for the equipment to be updated.
Igor Petrishenko thanked for the attention and commitment to the healthcare system. "We discussed this issue, and the plans of the main department for healthcare of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee include purchasing a portable ultrasound machine for the Dubrovno hospital. This issue will be resolved, and we will also work on replacing the equipment related to artificial lung ventilation," the Deputy Prime Minister added, emphasizing the importance of vaccination. Currently, the COVID-19 situation in the district is calm, with no increase. The local hospital provides outpatient appointments, and those needing inpatient treatment are sent to the Orsha clinic.
