How has the health of the capital’s residents changed over the past decade? Which conditions were diagnosed most frequently? What are the prospects for the coming years?

The data presented in the report make it possible to better plan municipal health programs and adapt them to real challenges.

Women are great, committed and passionate researchers. Their role in science cannot be overestimated. However, they are still less likely than men to earn the professorial title or occupy the highest positions at universities.

On the occasion of today's International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we give the floor to our women scientists. WUM female professors argue that different life roles may be reconciled and one should never give up.
