Pathologist’s Services Turned Out To Be The Cheapest Ones In Lukashenka’s Clinic

Are Belarusians able to afford the treatment at a € 100 million clinic?

On Thursday, the Belarusian ruler was rationalizing the building of a VIP clinic in Zhdanovichy. As Lukashenka noted, the new clinical medical center will also service ordinary citizens – but for money.

– If you are not satisfied with the service in a Minsk hospital, you can come, pay money (because you will be served not at your residence address) and be served here. Aren’t there enough rich people who are ready to pay money today and do some research to establish their accurate diagnosis?" – Lukashenka asked.

Salidarnasts has studied the price list in the new clinic of Lukashenka –the state institution Republican Clinical Medical Center of Lukashenka’s Affairs Department.

The most expensive ultrasound in the clinic is abdominal ultrasound (liver and gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and adrenal glands), which costs 30 rubles 29 kopecks and heart ultrasound – 35 r.71k.

The most expensive bed is the intensive care bed, it costs 170r.11k. (the price list does not specify the period – apparently, this is a bed-day).

It will be cheaper to stay in the therapeutic, cardiological, neurological and gynecological departments – 41r.

It is noted that in addition the patient has to pay for the cost of medications and medical products actually spent in treatment at the departments, as well as for all the examinations, consultations, etc. In addition, he will have to pay for food separately – 3p.79k.

One of the most expensive endoscopic operations is laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery – it costs 1 989 r. 71k.

For those who care about their health and prefer preventive treatment of diseases, annual laboratory examinations are offered – for women (77r.86k.) and for men (86r.72k).

If you sleep badly, you are welcome to the diagnosis of sleep disorders, where they will find the accommodation of choice. An extended diagnosis for the detection of insomnia is 275p.33k. Can you imagine that such money could be paid by a resident of the poorest district in Belarus – the Sharkauschyna one? This is more than half of his average salary! Or a hairdresser suffering from insomnia with an average salary of 426.6 rubles?

By some quirk of fate, in the clinic where Lukashenka is treated, the ones of the cheapest in the price list are the services of the pathologicoanatomic department. The urgent histological examination costs 9 rubles 7 kopecks.
