Not only the medical workers, but also family members, students of medical schools and everyone who has even a secondary attitude to this profession are involved in the holiday.
History of the holiday
The initiative of creating such a professional holiday was made by the World Health Organization as a day of solidarity and action by doctors all over the world.
In 1971, on the initiative of the UNICEF organization, a special international company, Médecins Sans Frontières, was established. It is an absolutely independent charitable association that provides assistance to victims of natural disasters, epidemics, social and armed conflicts . Financing of this organization is carried out from voluntary donations from all countries where there are its representations, and this is practically the whole world. "Doctors Without Borders" fully implement the slogans of the World Doctor's Day, since they do not differentiate the national or religious affiliation of people, but help all who need it.
International doctors' day is celebrated with educational activities. Therefore, on this day, seminars, cognitive lectures on the medical profession, award the best of its representatives.
