When is the surgeon's day? When is Medical Worker's Day celebrated? Traditions of Medical Worker's Day
Medical Worker's Day is a significant holiday, both in Russia and in neighboring Ukraine and Belarus. The medical profession is one of the most unusual and extremely important professions in our lives. She will not tolerate mistakes, because any mistake can be fatal for a person.
From each doctor we expect only the manifestation of the highest degree of education, understanding and warmth. To thank and respect all the country's doctors, Medical Worker's Day was introduced, which has a special date in the calendar.
When is the holiday
This celebration is celebrated annually, although the date changes each time. At all, Medical Worker's Day falls on the third Sunday of June, and you can see what day it will be in the calendar. It so happened that this bright holiday will happen in 2017 June 18.
History of the emergence of medicine
It is still impossible to definitively indicate the exact date when medicine was born. We all understand that primitive man was not without various diseases or injuries, but we cannot claim that someone rushed to his rescue in a conscious way.
In addition to humans, animals needed help, but wild creatures could satisfy their own needs using techniques inherent to their breed. The understanding of primitive medical and hygienic norms came to man over time, after he had gone through several stages of evolution.
Most likely, the boundary between instinctive self-help and conscious provision of first aid can be considered the emergence of mutual support. Just when a person consciously tried to help another person, tried to alleviate his suffering, save life and improve the working capacity of other members of the team, medicine was born.
Who and when was Doctor's Day established?
In order for the holiday to be considered official, back in 1980, on October 1, the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR adopted Resolution No. holidays and memorable dates.” Since then, every year thousands of people across the country and abroad congratulate medical workers on their Day.
Features of the holiday
The main feature of this celebration is that it is celebrated not only by medical workers, but also by those people who, to one degree or another, save human lives, and are also directly related to this area.
These are engineers and technologists who develop equipment for medical institutions and laboratories; orderlies and biologists; chemists and laboratory technicians; other respected professions.
In order to respect all workers who once took the Hippocratic oath, Russia decided to introduce two honorary titles:
- Honored Health Worker of the Russian Federation. This is the highest degree of recognition and award for each medical worker. Only those people who completely devoted themselves to this area, put their soul into it and made an invaluable contribution to its development are worthy of it. Several years ago, the current President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, signed a decree conferring this title on Nina Viktorovna Kutsenko, a senior nurse from Ulyanovsk.
- Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation. This honorary title is awarded to doctors who have devoted more than 15 years of their lives to this profession, provide services in the field of healthcare and have managed to make a special contribution to medicine. 04/25/2011 Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree awarding Alexander Smirnov, head of the Glazov department of the healthcare institution.
Holiday traditions
For many, Doctor's Day is not just a holiday, it is equated to a day of solidarity, when every person tries to express their respect and respect to medical workers. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s a doctor or an ordinary nurse - they work together for the benefit of our health. There are really few real doctors (from God), but they do exist. And if it weren’t for them, our world would not become more beautiful and healthier.
In each medical institution, on the third Sunday in June, ceremonial meetings are held where particularly distinguished employees are awarded. After which, everyone goes to a festive banquet. The state provides each medical worker with a cash bonus, the amount of which is set at the state level.
Thanks to this professional celebration, we emphasize the importance of the daily, painstaking and much-needed work of doctors and health workers. People try to congratulate everyone who decided to join such a responsible, and at the same time, such an important matter as saving human lives and lives.
Despite many difficulties and obstacles, our doctors try every day to carry out their work responsibly. Many of them win the recognition of citizens for their selflessness, professionalism and compassion. Therefore, on June 18, 2017, it is imperative to congratulate all doctors on such a wonderful and bright celebration as Doctor’s Day.
On the third Sunday in June, the entire people of the country celebrate a solemn event - a worker. This year this date falls on the seventeenth of June. This celebration is dedicated to all those who have dedicated themselves to a very noble cause: these people save lives and health. In order for a person to be healthy and to receive treatment if necessary, it is necessary to attract all the resources of modern healthcare, which is aimed at developing both physical and spiritual strength. In addition, medicine actively attracts the internal resources of each person.
It has long ceased to be a narrowly professional holiday. After all, this date concerns all people: each of us has consulted a doctor at least once in our lives. People who have chosen nurses for themselves are real heroes who save lives without sparing their strength. They chose to help sick people, preserve their health and life as their life’s work.
On this holiday, not only doctors and nurses accept congratulations; on Medical Worker’s Day, the heroes of the occasion are also representatives of other professions, all those whose help helps medical science and also has something to do with saving lives. On this day, we need to remember the engineers and technologists who invent excellent equipment for diagnosing and treating diseases. You can add chemists, biologists and laboratory technicians to this list, as well as orderlies and other people.
Representatives of this humane profession must have the best qualities - moral fortitude, loyalty to the profession, courage, perseverance, sensitivity and kindness. These people are able to sympathize with those who need help.
Medical Worker's Day is a holiday of people who, thanks to the art of doctors, have found a new life for themselves after a serious illness. The holiday of a blind person who saw the light after an operation, who was bedridden, who was able to get back on his feet, that is, of everyone whom doctors helped to regain their lost health.
It dates back to ancient times. It constantly developed and improved. Both doctors and theoretical scientists are constantly expanding their knowledge in the field of the human body. New drugs are emerging that help cope with the most serious diseases. Diagnostic methods are also being improved today. A very important event for everyone is Medical Worker Day. After all, we all sometimes need the help of doctors. The task of the representatives is to treat, preserve and strengthen human health. We trust them with our lives, knowing that these people will help cope with the disease.
On the solemn Day of the Medical Worker, congratulations on the holiday are heard everywhere. Colleagues, relatives and friends congratulate the heroes of the occasion. There are concerts and other special events dedicated to this day. When a loved one is sick, you want to give everything so that he gets well and lives. And medical workers help us with this. They fight to the end for human lives and do everything possible to save people. Low bow to them. These people are hard workers, creators and heroes.
If we touch on history, then the conditions that were necessary for the emergence of medicine appeared in the middle of the Mousterian time. Neanderthals already knew how to provide medical care for injuries. They opened external abscesses and also stitched the wound. They also mastered other surgical techniques. If you believe the myths, then the first rules of personal hygiene appeared already then. And at all times, a person who knows how to help a sick person has been the most respected and revered.

Every third Sunday in June, Russian doctors celebrate their professional holiday. When the Day of the Doctor, the medical worker is celebrated, everyone who works in medical institutions is congratulated on this day.
Medicine is the most important profession
Thanks to our medical workers, a steady reduction in mortality has recently been achieved 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 cancer 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, the 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 future 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 thousand doctors went to work in rural areas, which is a major step in ensuring access to quality medical care.
Long-term traditions of Medic Day (medical worker)
1) This festive event began to be celebrated not so long ago. The basis for celebrating Medical Worker Day is the USSR Decree of October 1, 1980, which approved when Medical Worker (Doctor) Day will 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 claim that the line separating unconscious self-help and medical activity is the beginning of helping each other. At that moment, when the powerful instinct of self-preservation completely prevailed over the desire to help another person, medical activity began to appear, and these, without a doubt, were the first rudiments of medicine.
4) Today, scientists cannot say with accuracy what remedies 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.
There is no profession in the world more important than a medical worker. And every position in this area deserves respect, be it a doctor, paramedic, midwife, nurse or orderly. On the third Sunday in June, Medical Worker Day (popularly known as Doctor's Day) is celebrated throughout our country.
history of the holiday
In 1980, the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union declared by its Decree “On Holidays and Memorial Days” the third Sunday in June as Medical Worker Day. Since then, doctors, nurses and all staff of hospitals, clinics, and ambulances have officially celebrated their date.
As time went. The Soviet Union disappeared, new states appeared on its territory, but the profession of a doctor is so important, so revered among the people, that this holiday continues to be considered theirs in Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, and Moldova.
Medical Worker Day in Ukraine is also celebrated on the third Sunday of June, not only according to the old tradition, but also because the date is fixed at the state level by the Decree of the President of Ukraine dated June 3, 1994. It’s the same in other states - their decrees, but the date remains the same.
There is nothing on earth more important than the medical profession
Medicine is a complex and multifunctional field. Every person doing their job here is important and needed. The health, and more often the life of many people, depends on everyone. This work requires not only diligence and commitment, but also cordiality, warmth and responsibility for the fate of others.
The doctor makes a diagnosis. The patient’s life depends on his knowledge, intuition, and special medical gift. The more correct and quickly the treatment is prescribed, the greater the patient’s chances of recovery.
The role of the nurse is no less important in treatment. Her experience, dexterity and dexterity in executing medical orders, caring attitude and attentiveness to the smallest changes in a person’s condition are required in the same way as an accurate diagnosis.
And caring for the sick, daily hygienic procedures, on which the speedy restoration of a person’s strength and health depends, fall on the shoulders of nurses, who sometimes do hard work for an almost symbolic salary, because they know how to empathize and sympathize.
How to celebrate Medical Worker Day
Medical Worker's Day is a good occasion for people of related medical specialties to gather, to feel their importance and indispensability in society, to celebrate true professionals and simply relax amidst the difficult everyday life.
At the state level, on this day and the day before, ceremonial meetings and awards are held for those who have especially distinguished themselves in their profession. A television concert is being prepared for Doctor's Day.
Clinics and hospitals across the country also honor their heroes, celebrate good work and long-term service to medicine. Corporate meetings are held, sometimes very funny and creative, because it has long been known that many doctors are talented singers, composers, and comedians.
On Sunday, the day of the holiday, doctors usually celebrate their date with family, relatives, and friends. A summer day is conducive to picnics and outdoor recreation.
Medic's Day is a holiday not only for medical workers, but for all of us, because everyone was once sick or injured, and they, selfless and professional people in white coats, helped us all.
Happy holiday, our dear doctors, nurses, paramedics, orderlies and many other representatives of medicine! May you yourself have good health for many years to come.
Medical Worker's Day is celebrated in post-Soviet countries on the same day of the week. The date chosen was the third Sunday of June, which in 2018 fell on the 17th. This tradition of a professional holiday has been preserved since the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on October 1, 1980, when Medical Worker Day was included in the list of holidays and memorable days.
Medical workers, following the call of their hearts, are endowed with loyalty to their work, compassion for people, patience and thirst for help, which is confirmed by the Hippocratic Oath when graduating from medical educational institutions.
Doctor's Day in Russia in 2018 will be celebrated on June 17. In addition, on this day, congratulations will be received by doctors from Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova and Ukraine.
The profession of a medical worker is one of the most ancient. People at all times need trained specialists to provide assistance with illnesses, injuries and other types of health problems.
Today, doctors are one of the most in-demand specialties. Such people are needed everywhere and always, starting from birth. Special medical rooms are being created in schools, universities, and government institutions to provide the necessary medical care.
Millions of funds are allocated from the state budget for healthcare and the construction of hospitals, and a separate department, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, is occupied with the problems of protecting the health of Russian citizens.
Features of the celebration of Medical Worker Day
Russian medical institutions have established a tradition of holding the “Best Doctor of the Year” competition every year. Usually on the eve of the holiday the results of this competition are summed up.
Every year, thematic and professional events, forums, seminars, exhibitions, and conferences are held on Doctor’s Day. They are designed to draw public attention to the work of people in white coats who preserve important values - human life and health. At such events there is often an exchange of experience, which is valuable and important in medicine.
Medicine is multifaceted, and its improvement is carried out thanks to the achievements of science. Therefore, doctors, as necessary, undergo retraining in order to provide more effective care in the new conditions.
