Dearest Сcolleagues,
Today, on World Doctor's Day, specialists from all over the world celebrate their professional holiday. I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all who have dedicated their lives to medicine!
Russian medicine has always been famous for its traditions of humanism, dedication, and devotion. Being a Russian doctor means being a responsible and disciplined specialist ready to help others in the toughest of times. This is especially noticeable today, in the times of pandemic. From the first days of fighting against COVID-19, doctors have shown incredible bravery and impeccable professionalism. By uniting, doctors have a tremendous power that can change history, politics, and economics.
My special thanks to the doctors working in the red zone. By sacrificing yourself, being separated from your family, and working overnight shifts, you keep your patients healthy. I sincerely wish you patience, good health, and well-being for your loved ones. May the reward for you be the respect and recognition of your colleagues, the gratitude of patients, and the joy of the need for your work!
