It outlines government plans for creating interregional and interdistrict centers, clarifies intended roles within the care delivery system, and addresses approaches for tackling noncommunicable diseases. The note draws on international experience, reviews options to reorganize hospital services, and frames recommendations for patient referral pathways and regional-level hospital improvements.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nPolicy Note on Belarus Hospital Optimization  \nPrepared under the Belarus Hospital Optimization Advisory Services and Analytics  \nDecember 2020  \nReport No: AUS0002035  \nBelarus  \nHospital Optimization  \nPolicy Note on Belarus Hospital Optimization  \nDecember 2020  \nHEALTH NUTRITION POPULATION EUROPE CENTRAL ASIA REGION  \n© 2017 The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW, Washington DC 20433  \nTelephone: 202-473-1000; [Internet:](Internet: www.worldbank.org)[ ](Internet: www.worldbank.org)[www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nSome rights reserved  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank.
