Dear colleagues, I congratulate you on the Day of Belarusian Science!

We live in a progressive world that is developing at a tremendous pace. This growth and development is the product of science, numerous studies and experiments. At all times, science is the main driving force of scientific and technological progress, the most important component of national wealth, a powerful resource for the development of the economy, medicine, education, and the entire social sphere.

The history of science is closely connected with the history of university education, which has the immediate task of not just transferring a system of knowledge, but also preparing people capable of intellectual work and professional scientific activity. Our work, colleagues, sets high standards for national education and opens up additional opportunities for practical healthcare.

Thanks to you, VSMU today is an innovation-oriented university, one of the leaders in the Republic of Belarus in multi-level training of competitive and in-demand healthcare and pharmacy specialists. And today continues to pose us not only new fundamental research tasks, but also dictates the need for close integration of science, education and the real sector of the economy.

I wish our team the successful implementation of new promising projects, discoveries, inventions and inexhaustible creative energy, fruitful activities for the benefit of our Motherland. Good health, high scientific results, well-deserved awards!

Rector of the University A.N. Chukanov
