MINSK, 3 April (BelTA) - During his visit to Clinic No.42, which opened on 3 April in the Vostochny residential area of Minsk, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko was gifted a scalpel that belonged to a female surgeon who took part in the Great Patriotic War, BelTA has learned.
The scalpel presented to the head of state belonged to a female surgeon who selflessly performed operations right on the battlefield during the Great Patriotic War.

Aleksandr Lukashenko instructed that the scalpel be placed in the museum of the Palace of Independence. “When people come, let them see it,” he said.
While speaking with the staff of the new Minsk clinic, the president noted that the medical personnel are overwhelmingly represented by the fairer half of Belarus.
Also working at the healthcare facility is surgeon Khudaiguly Atadzhanov, who came to Belarus from Turkmenistan. “Never marry a doctor. That way, there won’t be any arguments at home about who’s better and who’s worse,” the head of state advised the young surgeon.

“I want to thank you in advance for doing what I’ve asked. First: don’t forget about the women. We will do everything for them - mammograms and everything else – we’ll do it all. And second: don’t treat people from the regions badly,” Aleksandr Lukashenko told the clinic staff.
