On the eve of Medical Workers' Day the treatment block of the Regional Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital reopened after renovation in Vitebsk. The building now boasts its own MRI machine and newest laboratories. The work took nearly three years to complete under the personal supervision of the President. The total cost of the renovation exceeded 56 million rubles. Builders erected a connecting module uniting the buildings into a single technological cluster. The VSMU Department of Infectious Diseases also relocates to the building.
