The Minister of Health, Viktor Lyashko, emphasized in his address that being a doctor is more than just a profession; it is a true calling.

"As children, they listened intently to the heartbeat of their favorite toys. Now, they save lives. Those who chose the path of medicine," the minister wrote.

According to him, it all starts small: with curiosity, play, childhood passion, followed by decisions, education, practice, shifts, fatigue, responsibility, and a tremendous desire to help.

«Medical professionals have always been with us. They stand by us in the toughest moments. This is the nurse who comforts a child in the treatment room. This is the doctor who not only treats but also holds a hand. This is the paramedic who buys precious time. This is the military medic who saves lives under fire. This is the rehabilitation specialist who helps return to life. These are those who work in frontline hospitals, understanding the importance of their presence. And those who are at their posts every day - in the operating room, in the clinic, in the ambulance," the head of the Ministry of Health emphasized.
