I'm not a doctor. I'm an entrepreneur who once realised that Belarusian medicine treats patients better than it shows itself to the world, and I've spent fifteen years on that.

My path started in tourism. I graduated from the Institute of Tourism and did an internship in Italy, at a large campground near Rome, where I worked my way up from entry-level roles to key positions and first truly understood how the operational logic of a business works, and why everything in it rests on people. I then studied in Lithuania, on two bachelor's programmes at once, Tourism and History. Later I specialised further in tourism at master's level and earned my degree in 2012, and in 2014 the university named me a Distinguished Graduate.

After university I gave serious thought to which part of tourism to pursue and what genuinely interested me. The answer came unexpectedly. In 2010, while arranging treatment for someone close to me, I discovered that medical tourism was growing fast around the world. I began studying the industry in depth, from the work of the American medical-tourism association to international journals and trade publications, and became convinced that the field had enormous potential. Above all, it gave me a way to help people anywhere in the world.

In 2011 I founded Med Travel Belarus, the country's first private medical-tourism operator. I signed more than 45 agreements with clinics and national medical research centres and started bringing in patients from abroad, from routine examinations to the most complex cases. Over these years, more than 10,000 international patients have been treated in Belarus through my projects.

Since 2023 I've stepped back from the day-to-day management of the clinics to focus on growth strategy and transformation. Inside KĀNO we built our own medical information system and record-keeping software, integrated them with CRM and BI, and are rolling out AI tools. The goal is a digital patient journey where decisions rest on data rather than intuition, and where a solid treatment plan reaches the patient quickly and just as well, no matter how busy the doctor is.

I speak often and talk about the industry openly: I run a YouTube channel and media projects, give interviews, and take part in industry forums and documentaries. For me it's a way to explain complex things in plain language: evidence-based medicine, medical-services export, and how digital technology is changing clinics.

Today I'm studying in Berlin, on the Digital Health Management master's programme at Medical School Berlin, while running medical projects across three countries at once: Germany, Uzbekistan and Belarus. I own dental companies and clinics, and among my completed projects is a physical-therapy and rehabilitation clinic that I sold successfully to a strategic investor.

In Berlin I study on the Digital Health Management programme founded by Professor Ehsan Khaljani, co-founder of AMBOSS, Germany's leading digital-health education platform for doctors, valued at €860 million in 2026.
