One of the most ancient and important sciences is medicine. The first professional oath that appeared in the world was the Hippocratic oath. Day of solidarity of doctors around the world is celebrated on the international Day of the doctor, which was approved by the initiative of the World Health Organization. It is held in the month of October on the first Monday. For the international humanitarian medical organization created in 1971 under the name "Doctors Without Borders" this is also a professional holiday. Its founders are the International Red Cross, UNICEF and the Order of Malta, operating under the auspices of the UN.
On the International Doctor's Day, all the merits of this independent and donated organization are emphasized, which undoubtedly makes a huge contribution to helping victims of natural disasters and cataclysms, epidemics, armed conflicts, social marginalization in a large number of countries. It helps absolutely everyone, regardless of ethnic, political or religious affiliation. Each year, 700 medical practitioners, at risk, work in hot spots around the world.
The day of the doctor or paramedic was also celebrated in the USSR. It was approved by the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Council in 1980. Every year it is celebrated in Armenia, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. Doctor's Day in Russia, as well as in these countries, is celebrated in the month of June (every third Sunday).
The excellent profession of a medical doctor is almost never randomly chosen. It is mastered by those whose calling is to save lives. Although this day is celebrated relatively recently, it has become a good tradition. On this day, congratulations on Doctor's Day are received not only by doctors, but also by nurses, midwives, nurses, and all other personnel directly related to medicine.
The existence of this profession has been known since time immemorial. Historians say that our ancestors actively self-medicated and helped each other in the treatment of diseases and the elimination of injuries. The boundary separating self-help and medical activity can be considered the first rudiment of the emergence of medicine. A characteristic feature of this period was the desire to help another person who prevailed over the instinct of self-preservation.
Today, the profession of a doctor is in demand as never before. Each of us at least once asked for specialized help and realizes that miracles are performed not only by wizards, but also by people in white coats. They meet a person at the time of birth and often become exactly those who are nearby in the last minutes of life. Congratulating on the Doctor’s Day, patients express their gratitude to them for saved lives, warmth, indifference and great responsibility towards each patient.
Health care in modern society and the efforts of physicians are aimed at maintaining health. Real doctors are also cosmopolitans, because those who have achieved international recognition communicate with patients from different countries and continents. On the Day of the Doctor, the unification takes place, which is so necessary to focus on the problems in the struggle not only for health but also for peace. It is these people who can actively oppose armed conflicts and attacks, because, as saviors of human lives, they actively participate in these events.
Congratulate your friends and relatives who are directly related to the medical profession on Doctor's Day in Russia, because workers who fully comply with such a high calling are worthy of the warmest and most sincere words.
Recently, the Russian government has been providing additional funding to this industry. National projects are being implemented that give noticeable results. Medical institutions receive timely support, excellent diagnostic equipment, modern equipment, comfortable conditions for the work of a doctor are formed.
