According to an international ranking assessing 160 nations, Belarus is the best place in the CIS to be a baby and 33rd in the world, chief pediatrician of the Healthcare Ministry of Belarus Yelena Nevero told a press conference.
“The state support to families with children played a significant positive role in improving the country’s demographic situation. In recent years the natural population loss has been reducing. The crude birth rate was 12.2 births per 1,000 people; the crude death rate was 13.3 deaths per 1,000 people in 2012. For the first time the child population increased by 21,000 last year,” she said.
Yelena Nevero underlined that Belarus can be by right proud of its pediatric healthcare provision. “This is the result of stable financing of the childbirth services, constant improvement of qualifications of the healthcare personnel, enhancing the affordability of all kinds of healthcare services,” she said. Yelena Nevero noted that prenatal diagnostics is well-developed in Belarus: some 98% of women have access to it.
