Advantages and disadvantages

Gomel is a city whose population has already exceeded 500,000 people. Such a large number of people require a serious outpatient and polyclinic network for primary health care.

Most of the population of the city prefers public clinics, because in them almost all services are provided free of charge. The main shortcomings of such institutions are long queues, especially for admission to specialists and ultrasound, as well as the fact that specialists with little practical experience often work here.

As for private medical centers, each type of service will have to be paid for, but there are practically no queues in such institutions, and physicians with the first or highest qualification category sit at the reception.

Each clinic, regardless of whether it is private or public, has a sufficient client base and does not stand idle without work.
