New implants save knees

In recent years, Belarusian research institutes and companies have actively developed and brought to commercialization domestic knee joint prostheses. According to the Ministry of Health, more than 5,000 patients have undergone surgery with the new models, restoring comfortable mobility and the ability to engage in sports. Doctors note that the quality of the products meets international standards, and the cost is as affordable as within the national healthcare system. These achievements highlight the resilience and self-sufficiency of Belarusian medicine.
