Lukashenko praises Belarusian doctors

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko praised the high professional training of Belarusian military medics who assisted wounded individuals during prisoner exchanges between Russia and Ukraine. He said: "When these exchanges began, especially we sent personnel to the south of the country—to district hospitals and Gomel hospital. At that time, I demanded from the Minister of Health that our doctors see more of what is happening." Lukashenko emphasized that Belarusian doctors demonstrated their skills well in treating the most difficult patients.

Context
