Valery Nafranovich, Head of the Representative Office, summarized the results of the representative office's work in 2025.

During his report, Valery Nafranovich noted that in 2025, funds from the state extra-budgetary social protection fund of the Republic of Belarus and the national budget were used to provide spa treatment and health improvement for

10,947 working citizens of the city and their minor children.

Child health is a priority for state policy in the area of spa treatment and health improvement.

In 2025, 5,466 children were sent to spa treatment free of charge using vouchers purchased from the national budget (excluding children with disabilities).

Of these, 1,718 children received spa treatment with one parent.

3,748 vouchers were sold to children's sanatoriums without an adult's accompaniment.

In 2025, in accordance with the plan communicated by the Center, 878 disabled children were referred for free spa treatment at the expense of the national budget.

In 2025, 89 children diagnosed with cerebral palsy and wheelchair users received spa treatment, including 23 children at the Belarus Sanatorium in Druskininkai.

2,594 vouchers were allocated to unemployed disabled persons

of groups I and II. This category of citizens is provided with vouchers strictly every two years, as stipulated by law.

4,238 unemployed veterans of labor and disabled persons of group III were provided spa treatment.

A total of 7,136 unemployed citizens received treatment. Seventy-three unemployed disabled persons of groups I and II, victims of the Chernobyl disaster, were referred for spa treatment, including two accompanied disabled persons of group I and one accompanied disabled child. This ensures 100% coverage of spa treatment for this category of citizens, taking into account their annual right to free spa treatment.

Unemployed citizens who are retired law enforcement officers were allocated 245 vouchers, including 127 for disabled persons of groups I and II (21.4% of all applicants) and 118 vouchers for veterans of the Armed Forces and disabled persons of group III (14.5% of all applicants). A total of 552 vouchers have been allocated under this budget in 2025.

In accordance with the order of the Republican Center for Health Improvement and Sanatorium-Resort Treatment of the Population, the representative office coordinates the activities of spa and health resort organizations located in Minsk, and spa and health resort organizations located in the Minsk Region, for which Minsk-based organizations are the balance holders.

In 2025, organizations in the Minsk Region sold 100,840 vouchers (117.7% of the 2024 level), including 9,666 vouchers to foreign citizens.

The average occupancy rate of Minsk Region organizations was 87.8% (80.6% in 2024).

Revenue from service sales amounted to 101,093,700 rubles (137.4% of the 2024 level), including 11,623,100 rubles to foreign citizens.

A total of 26,749,700 rubles were spent on strengthening the material and technical infrastructure of Minsk Region organizations (170.0% of the 2024 level), including 58,200 rubles on creating a barrier-free environment.

Minsk health resort organizations operating on an outpatient basis and without accommodation facilities sold 3,927 vouchers in 2025.

Meanwhile, revenue from service sales amounted to 119,305,500 rubles (107.6% of the 2024 level).

46,066,800 rubles were spent on strengthening the material and technical infrastructure of Minsk organizations (8,401,400 rubles in 2024), including 25,000 rubles on creating a barrier-free environment.

Overall, the performance indicators of the reporting organizations in 2025 demonstrated positive dynamics.

One of the most important areas of the representative office's work is organizing health improvement programs for schoolchildren during the holiday periods in various types of camps. During the summer, 80,326 children were treated in various types of camps using state budget funds to reduce the cost of vouchers (including 42,588 in full-time camps and 37,738 in day camps), an increase of 1,764 children compared to the 2024 target.

The plan for children's recreation using state budget funds to reduce the cost of vouchers was 103.3% fulfilled. Moreover, more than half of all children treated during the season were treated in rural areas.

This summer's coverage of children in all types of recreational programs with reduced costs was 42.4% (compared to 42% in 2024).

In conclusion, Valery Nafranovich outlined the main objectives for 2026.
