The University Children's Medical Center will be the referral center for the Republic of Belarus and an international pediatric specialty center. It will be a model for pediatric excellence in Central Europe and will eliminate excess pediatric beds by consolidating fragmented and duplicated services into a facility which will also be the comprehensive training site for pediatric health professionals. The decor and child sensitive environment will humanize children's health care. The facilities will promote familv collaboration in their children's health care as an opportunity for public health education.

An in-patient facility of 300 beds constructed by the Belarus government, will include units for pediatric medicine and surgery, with operating rooms, intensive care, clinical laboratories, diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, administrative and support services.

The ambulatory care area, developed next to the in-patient building, will allow common use of support services, such as laboratories and radiology. Its organization will attract the Republic's most competent pediatric clinicians and teachers.

• A physician as center will be similar to traditional "clinics" in the US.
• A day hospital area will provide comprehensive and specialty care without requlrmg hospltatlzatlon.
• A parent care area will allow staffsupervised, parent-provided treatment over several days and allow staff to train parents for home care as a lower cost transition to home-based care.

Contemporary laboratories and diagnostic imaging areas will provide highly specialized support in one centralized location available for in-patent and out-patlent service.

A clinical research area will enhance the understanding of the biologic basis for clinical observanons or therapeutlc interventions.

An innovative, community-based acute care referral center will be the supervising midpoint and an integrating force for pediatric community care.

A multi-media learning center will foster public and professional education through conferences, lectures, seminars, workshops and a library.

The US/Belarus Medical Science Education Academy and the University Children's Medical Center will merge education, research and professional care in a jointly developed and implemented privatized facility. This unprecedented pediatric program will establish:

• The first US/Belarus joint venture for health related activities;
• The first mechanism for granting joint US/Belarus certification and/ or degrees to medical professionals;
• The first privatization of medical care and medical training;
• The first use of private medical care, equipment and expertise to augment public medical services in a public institution for families unable to pay;
• The first private pharmaceutical production facility and the first international health sciences publication enterprise to subsidize and sustain these public medical services.
