On July 10, at 2:00 p.m., a symbolic sound signal will sound in all medical institutions of our country as a sign of memory, respect and gratitude to doctors, paramedics and nurses who gave their lives saving our defenders on the front lines, in hospitals, while transporting the wounded, providing assistance to civilians who were injured as a result of explosions, shelling and destruction.
They are true Heroes who remained faithful to their civic duty and calling until the end!
The Day of Remembrance of the Fallen Medics is commemorated thanks to the Memorandum of Cooperation signed between the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the Public Organization “Ukrainian League for the Development of Palliative and Hospice Care”.
The date of July 10 was not chosen by chance – two weeks before the Day of the Medical Worker, which is celebrated on July 27 and coincides with the Day of the Healer Panteleimon. During this period, various events will be organized in honor of the deceased doctors: installations will be installed in healthcare institutions – empty chairs with white coats and photos of the deceased doctors; publications, videos and exhibitions with stories about the feats of doctors under the title “The World of Their Hearts Lives in Every Saved Life” will be prepared; a Book of Memory will be created in both printed and digital versions, with the names, stories and photos of the deceased heroes; memorial signs will be installed in medical and educational institutions where the hero doctors worked or studied; Flowers will be laid at monuments, memorials and burial sites, and the families of the deceased will not be left out of consideration – they will receive material, legal, educational, and psychological support.
Five wonderful young doctors who studied and were educated at Odessa National Medical University gave their lives during the war, saving the lives and health of the wounded. Their friends and colleagues, school teachers and ONMedU lecturers, and their parents spoke a lot about them. These names will always live in our memory: Petro Kyshenko, Serhiy Frolenko, Dmitry Bily, Oleksiy Andronov, Vitaliy Sinenko. They are our pride and our unspeakable pain…
These days, ONMedU also plans events aimed at preserving the memory of heroes and the self-sacrifice of medical workers, as well as forming in society a deep respect for doctors who, both in peacetime and in wartime, stand guard over people’s health and lives.
