Every day military doctors do hard work while saving lives of our wounded soldiers

Stepan Poltorak stressed it while visiting Zhytomyr Military Hospital where he met with medical personnel and thanked them for service.

“Servicemen defend the country. Doctors save their lives and treat them if they are wounded. Military and doctors are similar. Every day you do hard work while saving lives of our wounded soldiers,” Stepan Poltorak underlined.

“Six thousands of servicemen have undergone treatment in Zhytomyr Military Hospital this year, five thousands of them took part in combat operations in the east of Ukraine. You are real professionals,” the Minister said.

General of the Army of Ukraine Stepan Poltorak awarded military doctors and soldiers wounded during the anti-terror operation.
