MINSK, 21 June (BelTA) – Doctors and teachers are the mirror of any state, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he visited Minsk Children's Clinical Hospital No.2 on 19 June, BelTA has learned.
The head of state congratulated the hospital staff and all medics on the professional holiday. "You are heroes because you treat children. I'm an adult, but when kids get sick, I panic. I can't bear it, and it does not matter whether these are mine children or someone else's. But you see it every day, and it is impossible to get used to it," Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
"You know, I have come to the conclusion that a doctor and a teacher are a mirror of any state. Be worthy of this image. I wish you to remain the bedrock of our society, the courageous people as we, the society, ordinary people whom you treat, see you," the president wished.
