“The health of the nation is a vital priority for the modern Russia, and therefore your fruitful work is particularly important. The medical workers of the region successfully reach the important objectives they face. You develop and implement new top-of-the-line illness prevention and treatment measures, give one-of-a-kind operations that save thousands of lives. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to doctors, paramedics, medical nurses – all who chose the noble craft of preserving people’s health,” the head of the region said.

The selfless work and skill, as well as great knowledge and highest standards of morale are the things that brought the medical workers their well-deserved authority and respect, he added.

“I believe the new generation of medical workers will remain faithful to the oath of Hippocrates and add their own to the traditions of those who did it before them. Dear friends, I wish you sound health, prosperity, happiness and new achievements for the sake of your little Motherland,” the press service of the Penza region government quotes Ivan Belozertsev.
