how are they, as in the normal population, they get sick , they are born with defects, naturally we have to treat them, if 10-15 years ago, we started treating children with a weight of about 3, 3.5 kg, and newborns, but now very often we treat detox, 200 kilograms, 500 kilograms, 900 kilograms. what other operations can be called unique? unique are those operations that are high-tech, we have 25% of all operations in the center. that is, every fourth operation? yes, well, we are the main center, of course, the most complex operations from all over belarus flock to us, all operations are on only we do the heart work, we are one center that helps surgical children - according to our hearts. if we talk about the complexity of the operation, then of course, the operation on the heart is very complex, it is a high-tech operation, using very serious equipment, but in recent years, and the last 10 years, we have been doing approximately the same amount.

heart surgery per year is about 1,100 operations per year, but if in 2012 we performed 700 open operations and about 300-400 endovascular, so-called minimally invasive, now the situation is absolutely diametrically opposite, we perform 750 endovascular, that is, minimally invasive operations, and last year we performed 350 operations using the open method, that is , essentially due to the material and technical base. complicated, there are no problems now, yes , we all understand perfectly well that now there are difficulties with logistics, but we predict our activities in such a way that, in principle , we do not have a shortage now, and any child who is sick with something, who needs help, our center, he will receive it absolutely in a timely manner, be it today, in an hour, in two, if necessary in. or after 2 weeks

, do foreign patients come to your clinic? yes, foreign patients come to us, since we often travel abroad , they know our clinic quite well, we have such permanent programs, for example with kazakhstan, there is not a government state fund that deals with sending patients abroad, which cannot be operated on in kazakhstan. well, you understand that these are the ones who are in intensive care. we also work with kyrgyzstan, well, for serious patients, right now we have a child from kazakhstan who underwent a difficult operation, he is sent there, to us, that is , patients come to us, our teams go to kyrgyzstan, well, we have the last years, a very serious program with uzbekistan, you probably heard that there was a belarusian-uzbek forum at the end.

for the first time - well, knowing ourselves, 15-20 years ago we ourselves learned from our colleagues, more experienced ones, who came to us at our base and operated on our children, because they can go somewhere for an internship, see the system, see how they operate, and then come to your place and not understand how to apply it all here. and when, in 1996, for the first time such a team came to us, which... taught us how to operate

on the heart, when they come to us at our base, with our patients in our conditions, they show us how to operate, then it’s worth a lot, something like this what is happening now with uzbekistan, we understand that some kind of material base there is insufficient, but we come and show that it is possible to treat severe children in these conditions, including from time to time you can read the news and hear that with specialists from europe...

including in recent years we have been performing these operations with colleagues from europe, with our good friend, professor kalangas. thank you very much. konstantin drozdovsky, director of the republican scientific and practical center for pediatric surgery, answered the program’s questions. we'll be back at the studio in

a few minutes. how long have you held a book in your hands, flipped through page after page, greedily tasting every word, from all manifestations? human creativity, the most amazing and worthy of attention. these are books. the thoughts of past times live in books. people's voices can be heard clearly and distinctly. everything that humanity has accomplished has been preserved, as if

by magic, on the pages of books. by reading a person survives centuries. reading brings generations together; we value the past for our present. belarus 24. on the air of the first talk show in 2024, today kirill kazakov and i, alena syrova, together with our respected experts and speakers, will talk about faith,

about interfaith peace on our land about these subtle nuances that can arise when you want to find understanding. as always, you are welcome.

own opinions, when the minority tries to dictate its opinion to the majority, and not always traditional religions, not always traditional beliefs and generally just traditions are taken into account in order to build some kind of normal flourishing human state in the future, human, this word is very good for me i like it, i read one good thought when i was preparing that religion, many say that religion in the 21st century is a thing that pulls us into the past, it is something that, in principle, is retrograde, it is something that takes us, well, into something incomprehensible, something that has already passed, it seems to me that religion is precisely a thing about the future, religion is, in principle, about the future, no matter what religion,

because when we talk about what a person should believe, then that a person should live, any religion, it helps in some way to create the image of the country, in which he wants... and you know, the president also once said that we have passed our limit of wars, we have also passed our limit of conflicts, and i will once again return to what i am proud of. uh, please tell me, mm, the orthodox faith, we understand perfectly well that

there are more orthodox people in belarus, but there is some misunderstanding, for example, with other faiths, or maybe you understand that orthodoxy puts pressure on other faiths , or this word doesn’t fit here at all, well , no, of course, because... we perform the gospel, that is, the lord gave us a way of life, gave us commandments, gave us the opportunity to live in peace, in love, in joy, in harmony, and a true believer, he first of all cares about his soul, he first of all cares about so that he can inherit the kingdom of heaven, so you say the future, of course, we are all... the future is striving, because we understand that this material world is changeable, what is happening here, but we all

strive to unite with god, and in order to be worthy of this, we have to get through purification, and purification is through humility, through love, through consent , through mutual understanding, therefore the orthodox church, first of all, preaches the gospel, preaches the teachings of christ and... calls on all the people of god to measure their lives with the gospel in order to worthily, truly, beautifully, well, if we are talking about orthodoxy as the most numerous, and we associate religion in our country with the secular life of the state, then last year we adopted changes to the constitution, and a special the status of the orthodox church in our country is fixed on... no society can

develop without spiritual guidelines, if people begin to live only in the material world, this means that there will always be division, there will never be agreement, there will be no mutual understanding, therefore every state and society who wants to create its own beautiful, clear... peaceful future, it must first of all take care of the spiritual component, therefore the recognition of the church as predominant, well, given that the majority of the population and historically traditional, namely our people accepted the orthodox faith, then of course this change in the constitution pays tribute to the historical tradition, the modern state of affairs, well, in general, i already said here behind the scenes that not

only because there were big religious holidays, not only because this is the new year and winter period, we decided to invite representatives of all faiths to our platform to talk on the merits, but also because we understand perfectly well that, in general, faith is in the soul of the belarusian people. has always been and is, well, the basis, yes, the basis in in general, we are creating, as i think , the spiritual world, and we understand that we have a rather difficult period ahead, two major electoral campaigns await us at once, literally and there for 2 years, it is obvious that those who do not wish us well. they will, in general, attack the foundations on which the belarusian world is based,

use it, yes, because faith is such a subtle concept and it is always used, and in this regard it is clear that this interfaith peace and harmony of ours is great value to brag about in general, not many states in the world can, they cannot always find understanding and agreement within the framework of one religion, what does he say? well, belarusian society is preparing for this period, yes - we are talking about the fact that over some time they will have to undergo re-registration, and religious organizations, in general, this raised quite a lot of questions, because for people, in general - far from religion, yes, for them

it is, well, we know the four main confessions, few more people in any organizations... what have they heard, why did it suddenly arise the need to regulate, understand , but it’s difficult, speculation begins on this topic, they begin to say that they are going to clean up someone, remove them, and so on and so forth, let’s shed some light, well , look, the law on freedom of conscience for religious organizations is 20 years old, if you haven’t cleaned your house for 20 years, or you haven’t repaired your car for 20 years, but in what condition? this will be, the law is not related to the upcoming election campaign, this is definite, and you mentioned the constitution, what is stated in the constitution, no, you know, it is not now is planned, and already in the law, which the president signed on january 3 , the special role of the belarusian orthodox church is already spelled out,

the role of other major religions is spelled out. and this law, no matter how our enemies try, it is still aimed at creation, it is designed to make our society resistant to challenges from the outside. you mentioned our enemies, in the upcoming election campaign, you know, some beginnings have already appeared, they just recently appeared. information that the us commission on international religious freedom has called on the president to punish, to punish someone in belarus for allegedly oppressing religious organizations, this is already the first sign, far from the last, but i am sure that our society will cope,

let’s immediately explain to the campaign, so that it is clear, a religious organization, a religious organization, this ... a community of people who voluntarily united for the purpose of free religion, to say that in ten of our countries of a million people religious organizations are somehow oppressed, well, it’s also not necessary, there are more than 3,500 churches is valid, we have registered 25 confessions, directions, churches, thousands of priests, it says that people are calm in their desire to go to church, let’s go back again to our recent history, literally recent history, remember the times of covid, remember the president, yeah, the president said several times that we never close and will not close the doors to the temple, maybe

someone took it literally, but covid, we don’t close the doors. religious freedom, believe in satan, here, well, about re-registration, guidance order, what is it like, how will this process be organized in general, what will it be like, some specific demands will probably be put forward, because well, for 20 years they can tell you, well, for 20 years everything was generally normal, all the mouths of the party underwent re-registration, it will be something similar, here or not, and yes and no

, well, look, 20 years, let’s say, 20 years ago... some kind of religious organization, well, a community, was formed in 20 years a person can move to another country, from the age of 20 a person, excuse me, can die, something else, well, if there is no one left from this community of 10 people, does it have the right to simply hang with a dead thunderstorm? no, as for the requirements, they, they are not unique , they are ordinary, there is nothing supernatural in this situation, and... uh, when the law comes into force, uh, the corresponding by-laws will be issued, which will streamline all this and ... i’m sure that it will pass without incidents, a question for you, the second largest religion in our country is catholicism, well

, not to say sincerely, many people perceive it as mostly pro-polish organization, what is the mission of catholicism in belarus? i understand perfectly well that many people who profess catholicism live. after all, faith and religion are about the past, maybe this remark at the beginning will say that the present and the future, creating the past, regretting mistakes, correcting in the present, we look to the future, there was a ninetieth year, when there was a need for priests arrived and helped, well, to feed people who

were truly baptized in the church and were catholics, now there is no need for this, we have a very small percentage of priests serving from abroad, we have our own seminary, which for 30 years has already trained more than two... 200 priests. e mission - the mission is very simple - it is preaching the gospel, good news, it is teaching love, kindness to neighbor, regardless of religion, and of course, glorifying the lord. faith cannot be a complement in our life, either faith is my life, or then i don’t play religion, therefore complementing. speaking about the law, about the changes that have been made, we very often evaluate it with point of view of the main confessions, but

we are not talking about those, let’s say, sects that cause enormous harm, destructive sects, yes, which should be under control, today they don’t even call themselves religious organizations anymore, and this is a very important point, therefore this is a new stage in development. and it is also pleasing that at the constitutional level, the law states that the main religions and confessions have their own weight, this speaks of our society as a, but about this guarantee, the guarantee of this enormous spirituality, today we can safely say and ready for it to make sure that our country, throughout europe today, is these, you know,

people, uh, i always wanted to understand, what is it like inside? well, in theory there are two faiths, well, two , two confessions, in any case, uh,

well, a certain need arises, to increase your flock, how does this react, for example, i have a family, yes, i am orthodox, my wife is catholic, we get along , she doesn’t drag me into orthodoxy, i, or rather into catholicism, i drag her into orthodoxy, that is, we live normally, this is normal, well, from the point of view of the catholic church. with you answered your own question, moving from shtetl to family, look how many we have, we have a lot of mixed families.
