Gomel suffers from a lack of nurse training, with Minsk being the nearest city in which specialists can be taught. However, Gomel is now enrolling applicants to study practical nursing and psychology, with courses offered free of charge.
Funding is being provided by the Memory, Responsibility and Future German Fund, under the aegis of the Victims of National Socialism are the Object of Our Care project. Primarily, those who lived through WW2 are to receive care. The Social Projects regional public association has compiled a list of those who may need assistance.
The database will allocate nurses by city district, with the German Fund financing 546 hours of work. Next year, fifteen more nurses are to be trained by the programme.
