The Minister of Health of the Republic of Armenia Arsen Torosyan sent a message on the occasion of the Medical Worker’s Day, which reads:

“Today is the day of the medical worker, but most of them will spend it next to the patient, with the patient.

A situation has arisen when the country is in a “war” due to coronavirus disease, and medical workers are at the forefront.

The daily routine that the medical staff conducts and lives is the patient who is in an extremely difficult situation, and the struggle for the patient’s life. And, unfortunately, sometimes you can’t win that fight. Of course, there are cases when medical workers see the hopeful eyes of patients and recovery.

For almost four months now, the health care system has been focused on overcoming the epidemic, saving lives and stabilizing the situation. I am confident that we will succeed and one day we will look back at these days as a defeated challenge.

Many of you have fallen ill, but that hasn’t stopped you either. You have returned to work, more efficient. Unfortunately, we also had lost. ”

Medical workers wear heavy, uncomfortable clothes every day, and in these conditions they walk around the departments for more than 8 hours, doing their job, hoping that our fellow citizens will support them by following three simple rules. They will regularly disinfect hands, wear masks and keep their distance.

Dear colleagues, thank you for your work. Even words are unnecessary here. Thanks again and again.

Congratulations on your professional holiday and good health. Let deeds be an integral part of your work.
