To the medical workers of Ukraine
Dear friends!
I am glad to congratulate you on the Day of medical workers!
Health of the population is one of the most important indicators of health – political, economic, social, etc. – of any country. Thus, the foundations of Ukraine's medical sphere development include creating every condition to ensure that every citizen, regardless of their status and place of residence, has quality and affordable medical care.
You, our dear doctors, nurses, and all those related to the health care sphere, treat patients not only with medical means. You treat them with attention, care, humanity, ability and desire to treat not only physical but mental pain as well. Having to deal with people's suffering every day, your hearts have not been hardened; your unique experience helps deal with the most complicated diagnoses, and your hands get things done.
I wish you constant creative search, successful implementation of all intentions and new achievements. Let's work together for prosperity of our country and for strengthening the health of its citizens!
Oleksandr Turchynov
