Day medical worker was first established in the Soviet Union according to the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council "On holidays and memorable days".

Other dates in honor of physicians

By the way, Medic's Day is not the only holiday for medical workers. So, in some countries, May 12th is International Nurse's Day. The date of the celebration was not chosen by chance: on May 12, 1820, Florence Nightingale, one of the founders of the sisters of mercy movement, was born. But the nurses do not have their day off.

However, the servants of Aesculapius (the ancient Roman god of healing), regardless of gender, have more than enough reasons for the holiday: the Day of the surgeon, paramedic, resuscitator, therapist and dozens of other professional holidays are celebrated in Russia annually and on a large scale.

What is the Hippocratic Oath

Everyone who has at least a remote idea of ​​\u200b\u200bmedics and medicine has heard about the Hippocratic oath, but few, except doctors, know about its meaning. In fact, the Hippocratic oath is a kind of "code of honor" for doctors, which contains moral and ethical standards health worker behavior.

The original text says:

“I will not give anyone the deadly drug I ask for and I will not show the way for such a plan ... Whatever I see or hear during treatment, I will keep silent about it, considering such things a secret. I will spend my life and my art pure and blameless ".

The medical profession is changing rapidly, and the Hippocratic Oath has also changed. Modern doctors pronounce legally approved versions of the "Hippocratic oath", and in some countries the version of Hippocrates is not used at all for historical reasons. Nevertheless, the Hippocratic Oath remains of interest to historians and many medical professionals who appreciate the ancient history of healing.

Why do doctors wear white coats?

Every person who has ever been in a hospital wondered: why do doctors have white coats? The reason for this is as reasonable as it is banal. The medical uniform appeared in the 19th century, and in those days, doctors wore ordinary aprons and gloves.

Once, an English doctor, Joseph Lister, noticed that blood and dirt were clearly visible on a white apron, and suggested that all doctors wear only snow-white gowns for hygiene and sanitation purposes. The idea caught on, and in the future, the skill of a physician was judged by how much he soiled his gown during the operation.

Traditionally, Minsk is best staffed with doctors - here there are more than 58 specialists per 10,000 people.

Until quite recently, the issue of personnel was acute in the medical industry - there were not enough narrow specialists, especially in the periphery. But in recent years, due to an increase in enrollment in medical universities and the distribution of young specialists, the problem of staff shortages has been largely resolved. And in some specialties that are in demand in the commercial sector, there is even an overabundance of specialists. According to the Minister of Health of Belarus Valery Malashko, this year

How Belarus celebrates the Day of Medical Worker

Traditionally, the day of the medical worker is celebrated in Belarus on the third Sunday of June. In 2017 - June 18. This date was inherited by Belarusian doctors from the USSR, where it was introduced back in 1981. It has been preserved in many CIS countries - along with Belarusian doctors, Medical Worker Day on June 18 will be celebrated in Russia, Ukraine, Armenia and Moldova.

Since this is a day off, most health workers celebrate their professional holiday not at their post, but in the family circle. The only exceptions are medical hospitals and ambulance services, whose work is organized around the clock.

However, regardless of where doctors meet their professional holiday, their phones will be torn all day long from calls from grateful patients.

How to congratulate on the Day of the medical worker

There are no universal recipes here. Some give traditional flowers-candy-alcohol, others show imagination and prefer presents with humor. In the price these days are figurines-cartoons of doctors, funny souvenirs with a comic Hippocratic oath or a set of scalpels imitating the tools of medieval Aesculapius. In a word, finding a gift for a health worker's day is not difficult.

However, when preparing a gift for your beloved doctor, it is important not to lose sight of a very important aspect: in Belarus, restrictions are legally established for receiving gifts by healthcare workers - the cost of a gift should not exceed five times the base value. Otherwise, your gift may be regarded as a bribe.

But this is no reason to be upset. Show your imagination, come up with an unusual move, compose poems for your favorite doctor, contact your colleagues - they probably have a photo where your favorite doctor is captured at work - prepare a wall newspaper for him with humorous poems and photo collages.

Such a gift will definitely be remembered much brighter than the traditional and faceless set of flowers-candy-alcohol. In the end, if you do not know what to give - just call and say grateful and sincere words. After all, it is important for any person to know that what he does is necessary for people. And medical workers deserve it more than anyone else.
