A new application has been launched for doctors in Belarus to allow them easy access to all the clinical protocols set out by the Ministry of Health.

‘Lekar Pro’ is available on Android and iOS, and contains the full database of clinical protocols of the Ministry of Health of Belarus, according to dev.by. These are regulatory standards that doctors should rely on when making a diagnosis and prescribing treatment. 

The application allows doctors to:

• quickly find the desired Protocol: by name, international classification of diseases code, year of approval, section of medicine,
• send the Protocol to e-mail,
• get information about medicines registered in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and instructions on how to use them,
• access materials on a range ofmedical topics. 

There are also plans to add services for communication between doctors and training to the app.

Through its EU4Digital initiative, the European Union supports the development of eHealth networks in the Eastern Partner countries.

By supporting efforts to develop eHealth systems, EU4Digital will deliver benefits for patients, as well as health systems and professionals. Ultimately, improvements in eHealth will result in healthier citizens, greater efficiency in the provision of care, more responsive insurers, and better regulation.
