history of the holiday

On June 21, 2020, doctors will celebrate International Medical Worker Day, which was officially established in 1980 at the initiative of the international organization Doctors Without Borders. Since 1981, the holiday has been officially celebrated not only by healthcare workers in Russia, but also by doctors from Armenia, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus.

The meaning of the holiday

The importance of people in white coats is invaluable. Throughout their lives, they nobly fulfill their duty towards everyone. But, not only doctors and nurses celebrate the international holiday.

All those who are related to medicine have every right to consider this day their own. Scientists, chemists, laboratory assistants, biologists, diagnosticians and orderlies, absolutely everyone is directly related to him.




The significance of the holiday, as a purely professional one, goes far beyond the scope, because not a single person can remain indifferent to it. There is no better opportunity to express my sincere love and gratitude to people who are completely devoted to their professional duty, restoring their health to millions of people.

Holiday traditions

There are no traditions of the Day of the Medical Worker as such yet. On this day, medical workers congratulate each other in close company. In addition, on this solemn day, concerts and congratulations are organized for them.

One of the traditions is honoring honored medical workers with awards. Health workers who have given their strength and knowledge for 20 years or more are celebrated separately and are awarded one of two titles: "Honored Doctor" or "Honored Health Worker of the Russian Federation." Since 2013, the "Recognition" award began to exist, which is awarded on this very day to high-class and selfless doctors of the Russian Federation.

On this significant day for medicine, students of medical universities are also not forgotten. Parties are organized for them in clubs, trips to nature with thematic directions. Also, numerous master classes and symposiums in various specializations are held throughout Russia. In a narrow circle of polyclinics, the administration awards honored workers with cash prizes.

What date do doctors celebrate

In 2020, the holiday falls on June 21st. Along with Russia, the holiday is celebrated by all CIS countries. Unlike the Russian Federation, where medicine celebrates a professional holiday every 3rd Sunday of June, in neighboring countries its date must be specified, since it falls on different days. For example, in India it takes place on June 1st. In the United States, this day was renamed and is now called: "National Doctor's Day", and it is celebrated on March 30th. In addition, there are special holidays. Such as: Dentist Day - February 9, Traumatologist Day - May 20, World Ultrasound Doctor Day - October 29.

How to congratulate

It is impossible not to congratulate on this day all the health workers who helped in difficult times, maybe even brought many people back to life more than once. You can congratulate doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other medical workers on the website of the medical institution. It is not necessary to present congratulations in person; you can also congratulate and express your personal gratitude by phone.

In June, Russians celebrate Medical Worker Day, which falls on the third Sunday. This year, the holiday will be celebrated on June 17.

But, not only Russia celebrates this day, but also other CIS countries: Belarus, Latvia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Lithuania, Kyrgyzstan. However, not all countries have this holiday on the 17th.

This holiday is common and is dedicated to all workers in this field, from the paramedic to the surgeon, from the head physician to the nurse. Doctor's Day is celebrated by everyone who is related to medicine, we will not list the full list of professions, since it is very wide.

On this day, it will not be enough to say thank you to the professionals in white coats. It expresses respect and recognition of the merits of those who daily save lives, protect against diseases, help restore the joy of life and self-confidence and their own strengths.

The history of the holiday

This holiday has been included in the list of professional holidays in modern Russia since Soviet times. The first time the Medical Worker's Day was celebrated in 1980, when a special holiday was actually established for medical workers, the Therussiantimes website reports.

After the collapse of the USSR, the holiday migrated from the Soviet past to the present. In 1991, the President signed a decree on the establishment of professional holidays and memorable days.

Traditions of the Medical Worker's Day

This holiday can be called the most formalized professional holiday in the country. It is dedicated to summing up the results in the field of medical care, encouraging distinguished doctors, and voicing the main problem of medicine. By this day, they always try to coincide with various meetings, conferences, meetings and round tables where doctors gather.

As a rule, on this day, the Regional Administration holds solemn awards for outstanding physicians. This list may include not only heads of departments, but also ordinary ordinary doctors and nurses. The most distinguished representatives of this profession are awarded with certificates, diplomas, memorable prizes. The heads of each medical institution are trying to write out monetary incentives and bonuses to their employees.

On this holiday, everyone tries to congratulate each other and say a lot of pleasant and warm words. If it is not possible to do this in person, then you can use the phone or leave your congratulations on the website of the medical institution.

There is one special profession that accompanies every person throughout his life - this is the profession of a medical worker. Doctors and doctors are nearby when we are born, when we get sick in childhood, adolescence and during the rest of the time allotted to us, when our grandchildren ...

Every third Sunday in June, Russian doctors celebrate their professional holiday. When the Day of the Medic, the medical worker is celebrated, everyone who works in medical institutions is congratulated on this day.

Medic is the most important profession

Thanks to our medical workers, a steady reduction in mortality has been achieved in recent years for some major groups of diseases. For example, mortality from diseases associated with the circulatory system decreased by 2.6%, from tuberculosis by 12.2%, and from oncological diseases by 0.7%.

The work of a physician has been and will forever remain the most honorable and significant, because when turning to a nurse, paramedic or doctor for help, a patient trusts him with the most valuable thing he has - his health and life.

The medical officer is a key figure in the country's ministry of health. That is why the priorities of its activities for the coming years, which can be seen on the website of the Ministry of Health, are:

Gradual increase in salary;

Attracting qualified specialists to work in the industry;

Improving the quality of medical education.

In addition, thanks to a new program called Zemsky Doctor, more than 8,000 doctors went to work in the countryside, which is a major step in ensuring the availability of quality medical care.

Long-term traditions of the Day of the physician (medical worker)

1) This festive event began to be celebrated not so long ago. The basis for the celebration of the Day of the medical worker is the Decree of the USSR of October 1, 1980, which approved when the day of the medical worker (physician) would be celebrated.

2) But the medical profession itself has existed since ancient times. The question of when exactly medicine as a science and the first doctors appeared remains open to this day. Historians believe that already in the Stone Age there were people who helped others with illnesses and injuries. Our ancient ancestors were quite active in self-healing.

3) Scientists argue that the boundary separating unconscious help to oneself and medical activity is the beginning of helping each other. At that moment, when the weighty instinct of self-preservation completely prevailed over the desire to help another person, medical activity began to appear, and this, no doubt, was the first beginnings of medicine.

4) Today, scientists cannot say with accuracy what means and methods of treatment were used by ancient people during the formation of medicine, however, it is known that these were medicinal herbs and remedies of animal origin.

history of the holiday

People involved in healing have always been treated with respect. But until the middle of the 20th century there was no official day for their veneration. And only in 1980 the list of professional holidays was approved in the USSR, which included Medic's Day. Since then, and to this day, Russian specialists accept congratulations and words of gratitude on the third Sunday of June.

International Doctor's Day is celebrated on the first Monday in October. It was established by the UN in 1971. Its main goal is to establish links and cooperation between doctors from all over the world and specialists who care about improving the life and health of people of all nationalities.

Festive events

A holiday is a good occasion to celebrate the best. Each medical institution sums up the professional results of the work, honoring and congratulating all employees. The most distinguished medical workers, on whose professional qualities the life and health of Russian citizens depend, are awarded honorary diplomas, cash prizes, and gifts. Meetings, meetings, consultations, seminars, master classes, celebrations and other events are held in all healthcare institutions, most of which end with banquets.

On their professional holiday, many health workers remain true to their duty and the Hippocratic oath given as students, and keep their watch, as on any other day.

Recently, the Recognition award has been established in Russia as part of the celebration of the International Doctor's Day. It is awarded to the most selfless medical specialists, the most distinguished in the professional field.

Interesting Facts About Medical Workers

The ancient Greek healer, physician and philosopher Hippocrates is considered the father of medicine. During the years of his practical activity, there was a ban on the autopsy of the body. He himself was a supporter of the opinion that the main cause of all human diseases is his fat (patients were prescribed therapeutic hunger strikes).

Today, there is immeasurably more knowledge about diseases and their healing. A professional holiday is also considered for those who work in scientific healthcare institutions. This is a large number of medical workers, they produce new drugs, modern equipment, it is difficult to imagine modern medicine without their experiments and discoveries.

The German surgeon and urologist W. Forsman introduced the use of catheters through successful experiments with his own body. For this he was awarded the Nobel Prize.

The Genevan physician and zoologist J. Ponto created a serum against viper venom. He also conducted an experiment that threatened his death by allowing himself to be bitten by three black snakes.

There are a large number of such cases, but not all experimenters as a result of research have succeeded or are able to achieve a positive result. Many of them died during the experiments.

At the same time, thanks to medical workers, many facts have been revealed confirming that a person is an exceptional being. For example:

• our brain can hold up to 4 TB of information;
• the human intestine contains a large number of bacteria that can fill a two-hundred-gram glass;
• stomach acid can break down a metal object;
• A woman's heart beats more than a man's.
