Vladimir Putin took part in a video conference on the opening of new healthcare centres in some regions of the Russian Federation.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, friends.
I am happy to greet you all. Just these days, including today, 19 medical centres are opening in various regions across Russia. These are hospitals specialising in infectious diseases, oncology centres, outpatient clinics and first-aid stations.
I sincerely wish success to your staff and greet you, all your colleagues, the staff of federal and regional health centres, district and city hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency medicine crews, ambulance crews, air medical service, and military medics on the upcoming Medical Worker Day.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire medical community of Russia for your courageous selfless work, for loyalty to the best traditions of numerous generations of our doctors, paramedics and nurses, for following your mission with tremendous dignity, because the professionalism of a true doctor and medical professional is inseparable from your spiritual generosity.
We know how much courage, patience, compassion and self-sacrifice you demonstrated during the critical periods of the coronavirus pandemic. The medical workers of Russia display these very qualities while helping residents of the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics and civilians in the liberated territories.
I would like to specially address military doctors, medical assistants and junior medical staff at the hospitals of the Defence Ministry, the Federal Guards and other security agencies, to those who are rendering medical aid on the frontline under shelling, often risking their lives.
We bow to you for saving the lives of our comrades-in-arms who are engaged in the special military operation.
