October 1 - International Doctor's Day 2012

CIS doctors are lucky, because every year they can celebrate two professional holidays: the Day of the Medical Worker (the third Sunday in June) and the International Doctor's Day (the first Monday in October). International Doctor's Day 2012 accounted for on 1 October.

International Doctor's Day is celebrated on the first Monday in October on the initiative of the World Organization(WHO) and the international medical humanitarian organization "Médecins Sans Frontières" (MSF). This day is considered the day of solidarity and active action of doctors around the world.

Non-governmental international organization "Doctors Without Borders" was established in 1971 in Paris. It is engaged in providing medical care to people who have suffered as a result of natural disasters and armed conflicts.

It all started with the fact that a small groupFrench doctors and journalists with the support of the Red Cross decided to take care of the victims of the Civil War in Nigeria. Around the same time Raymond Borel, editor of the French medical journal TONUS, organized another group to help the victims of the cyclone Bhola. December 20, 1971 both groups united, and the organization Médecins Sans Frontières was born.

Over the years, the field of activitythe organization has expanded considerably: hundreds of volunteers come to 80 countries of the world (including hot spots) every year to provide medical care to those who need it. Also volunteers of the organization are engaged in preventive and educational work, aimed at combating AIDS and drug addiction.

In 1993, "Médecins Sans Frontières" was awarded the Nansen Prize (it is awarded for merits in the field of protecting the rights of refugees), and in 1999 - Nobel Peace Prize.

However, on the International Day of the Doctor, not only those who work in zones of armed conflicts and natural disasters are honored. This is the day of all doctors who follow the Hippocratic oath and provide medical care to all who need it, regardless of gender, ethnicity, nationality or religion, beliefs or other circumstances.

On this day, congratulate everyone who deserved the proudthe title of Doctor (just like that, with a capital letter), who dedicated his life to saving other people's lives. And it does not matter - whether the doctor is sitting in his office or traveling the world, this does not detract from his merit, because Every life saved by it is valuable.
