It has become known how many centenarians live in Belarus today.
It is worth noting that we are talking about people who have not only reached 100 years of age, but also celebrated their 110th anniversary.
How many Belarusians have reached the age of 110, BELTA reports in the project “Country Speaks”.
As Nikolai Orel, Deputy Head of the Main Department of Social Services and Social Assistance of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, said, in 2023 the number of centenarians in the republic approached 500.
According to the latest data, more than 600 people have reached the 100-year mark.

It also became known that over the course of ten years the number of centenarians in Belarus was about 400 people, and in 2023 it was already almost 500.
All of them are registered at the territorial centers of social services for the population; they are congratulated on their birthdays and holidays.
