Head of Crimea: “People in white coats are celebrating their professional holiday today”

Saint Luke called healing the first of the works of mercy.

These words are important for understanding the essence of the medical profession.

People in white coats are celebrating their professional holiday today. We pay tribute to everyone who saves lives and protects people’s health every day. Thank you for your service!

Special words of gratitude to military doctors, those who perform their duty on the front line, who help our soldiers cope with the consequences of wounds and injuries, and return to life.

Developing healthcare and increasing the availability of medical services is our top priority.

Over the past years, hundreds of new facilities have been built — from powerful medical centers to rural outpatient clinics. Thousands of new equipment have been supplied to hospitals, and the fleet of ambulances has been updated.

I am confident that we will cope with all difficulties and solve any problems.

Happy holiday to medical workers and industry veterans! I wish you all health, prosperity and new successes! — says the congratulations from the Head of the Republic.
