To the medical personnel of Ukraine
I sincerely congratulate the medical personnel of Ukraine doctors, medical attendants, nurses, veterans of public health, on the occupational holiday.
The day of medical worker is traditionally celebrated as a national holiday closely connected with the interests of every person. This day we honour a million and a half Ukrainian medical workers, whose competence, knowledge, experience, responsibility and mercy guarantee the happiness of healthy life.
Annual ardent work of Ukrainian medical workers, their kindness, sympathy and care for the human health provide full medical assistance to the people. These distinctive traits have always enjoyed special honour and public respect.
Relying on professional achievements and best world progress, Ukrainian medical workers improve the public health system, enhance its competitiveness, and raise the social status of their occupation.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine guarantees legislative support to provide for the comprehensive implementation of the civil right for health protection.
May the medical theory and practice rise to the summit of world achievements in the name of Ukraine´s prosperity.
I wish you all the best, and success in your difficult, but important and honourable mission service to the people.
