Greetings on the 80th anniversary of the Vishnevsky National Medical Research Centre of Surgery

The message reads, in part:
“Outstanding members of our medical community – scientists, clinicians
and managers of our health system – stood at the origins of the centre. Many of them had barely returned from the frontlines where they provided medical
assistance to wounded soldiers and officers in difficult wartime conditions. It
goes without saying that outstanding scientist and surgeon Alexander
Vishnevsky, whose 150th birthday anniversary we are marking these
days, had a huge and even unique role in the establishment of the institute.
It is gratifying to see that the current personnel continue
to uphold the professional and moral values of their predecessors, carrying on the traditions of compassion, selfless devotion and a strong sense of duty. The centre conducts important research and develops modern treatments, medical
technologies and rehabilitation methods in all areas of surgery. I would like
to emphasise the quality medical assistance you are providing to participants
of the special military operation.”
