Upon the initiative of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus, it has been proposed to grant the status of a CIS basic organization to the Republican Scientific and Practical Centre for Transfusiology and Medical Biotechnology. This initiative was supported by the CIS health Ministers at the meeting of the CIS Council for Health Cooperation, which took place in Dushanbe in October 2025.

During the meeting, the experts finalized the draft Regulations on the basic organization and the draft corresponding Decision of the CIS Economic Council.
For reference
The Commonwealth countries have established national systems for organizing transfusiological care. The introduction and dissemination of modern treatment methods have altered its nature, and blood and blood component donation has become one of the foundational factors in developing high-tech medical care. The Commonwealth countries strive to improve their healthcare systems by drawing on advanced experience and best practices.
