Lukashenko: Belarus coped with COVID-19 pandemic better than anyone

The Belarusian healthcare system performed well amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with Healthcare Minister Dmitry Pinevich to receive his report on 5 December, BelTA has learned.

“Thank you for your work during the COVID-19 pandemic. I have revisited this issue more than once. My gratitude to the healthcare system and doctors is not for treating people, but for learning how to treat patients with COVID-19. Today we can say that Belarus tackled the issue better than anyone in the world. It is not just because our healthcare system adjusted on time. We all know that very well. It once again shows that the healthcare system works well under close control,” the Belarusian leader stressed.
