There are professions without which the existence of humanity itself would be practically impossible - at least in modern conditions. One of these specialties is the medical profession. It is to the doctor that we turn in case of malfunctions in our body. Of course, representatives of such an important specialty have a professional holiday. It is called International Doctor's Day and is celebrated annually on the first Monday of October, which falls on the 1st day of 2018.
About International Doctor's Day
The English name for the celebration is International Doctor's Day. International Day of the Doctor was created on the initiative of two of the most authoritative medical organizations in the world: the humanitarian association "Doctors Without Borders" and the World Health Organization. The purpose of the establishment of the celebration was to develop and promote the solidarity of doctors around the globe. Members of the medical association "Doctors Without Borders" today are making every effort to ensure that their actions correspond to the achievement of the goal set before the holiday. They provide assistance to the sick, regardless of what religion the victims of ailments profess or what nationality they belong to.
Employees of a humanitarian organization become guardian angels for people whose health has been damaged by natural disasters, man-made disasters, armed conflicts, and epidemics. Association "Doctors Without Borders" operates on the territory of different states. Every year, about a thousand medical workers extend a helping hand to people who have received a crushing blow to their health due to unfavorable circumstances. Volunteers are engaged in educational work and the implementation of preventive measures, especially in relation to HIV, AIDS, and cancer.
International Doctor's Day is a professional holiday, first of all, for the employees of Doctors Without Borders and organizations like this one. Here it is worth mentioning the workers of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent. But in general, all doctors, regardless of where they live and work, can consider the October celebration their own, if only they are doctors at the behest of the soul, by vocation. It should be noted that at present there are fewer and fewer such medical workers. One of the reasons for such an unfavorable situation is the need to pay tuition fees when acquiring education in the corresponding higher education. educational institution, because for many truly talented people, endowed with the talent and sensitivity of a doctor by nature, this is too expensive.
At international day there is no fixed date for the doctor. As mentioned above, the holiday falls on the first Monday in October.
Specialty doctor
Let's pay a little attention to the specialty of a doctor on International Doctor's Day.
The specialty "doctor" has its roots in ancient times. Their doctors existed even in primitive society. In principle, almost every member of the community who had at least a little experience in the field of first aid performed the functions of a physician. Such skills were required to prevent death from injuries sustained by victims during hunting and in everyday life. Our primitive ancestors quickly found contact with Mother Nature: they learned to recognize medicinal plants and even "design" primitive medical instruments. There is historical evidence that Neanderthals sewed up wounds without any problems, tried to fight dental diseases and eliminated abscesses.
In the future, doctors stood out in a separate caste. They began to be treated like magicians - with reverence and awe. Yes, they were associated with a kind of magic, because often the function of a doctor was performed by shamans and healers, who had good powers of observation and powerful intuition. The profession of a doctor has become a vocation, a specialty for those chosen by the Higher Powers.
Hippocrates is considered the most famous healer of antiquity. This ancient physician, who used a scientific approach in his work, is now called the "father of medicine." He worked for the benefit of human health in the IV century. BC. The time of birth of Hippocrates is 460 BC, the place of birth is the island of Kos. The healer practically made a revolution in the minds of people, because thanks to his actions, the stereotype of the connection between diseases and religion that existed for a long time was destroyed - the latter replaced the rational approach. Hippocrates describes many diseases and their symptoms.
A significant contribution to the development of medicine was made by the Greek physician Galen. His name is known to a smaller circle of people, but the merits were very significant. This researcher was engaged in the study of animal and human anatomy and wrote the first textbook in this discipline, which became very popular.
It is impossible not to mention the greatest physician of the East - Avicenna. He was born near Bukhara on August 16, 980, and was not only a healer, but also a philosopher. Peru Avicenna owns hundreds of works in dozens of scientific disciplines. If we talk directly about medicine, then in this area he created the “Book of Healings”, “The Canon of Medical Science”, volumes “ Medicines”, “A Treatise on the Pulse”, “Blood Vessels for Bloodletting”, etc.
It is also worth saying a few words about a doctor who lived even in a later time - about Michel de Nostrdam. Today we know about him as Nostradamus. This wonderful astrologer and alchemist, it turns out, was also an excellent physician and pharmacist. Michel did a lot to fight the plague that claimed the lives of his family.
Without the above-mentioned and many other outstanding minds, modern medicine would hardly have become what we know it, and even more so would not have been able to accumulate a huge potential that opens up further ways for its progressive development.
What to give a doctor?
What to give for International Doctor's Day? This question is also asked by those who have relatives, friends, a loved one with medical education, and those who feel a sense of gratitude to some doctor for the timely assistance provided or for the work done competently, professionally. At the same time, it is best to surprise the doctor on International Doctor's Day - this way you will demonstrate not only your gratitude and love, but sincere, deep respect for a particular person.
You should not go the easy way and give a medical worker a banal box of chocolates, coffee, cognac or champagne. If the honored person is a representative of the fair sex, it is appropriate to present a beautiful bouquet of flowers for the holiday. Very favorably, any doctor will perceive the presentation of a gift that will help him relax and take a break from the hustle and bustle. It can be a miniature fountain or a fireplace, a panel or a picture on the wall. As for the latter, show originality: give the hero of the occasion a canvas by a little-known artist, whose plot is really permeated with inspiration, light and awakens all the best and most beautiful in the soul. Another option: present the doctor with a hand-embroidered picture or a tapestry woven by you.
We sincerely congratulate doctors on their holiday, International Doctor's Day!

Doctors help everyone in need and in any situation, regardless of their nationality and religious preferences.
Modern medicine is developing at a level with other industries. Healthcare representatives are engaged in the introduction of new technologies, the development of treatments and drugs. The goals and objectives of modern doctors are:

Being a doctor is not a profession, it is a calling. Everyone who has encountered medicine agrees with this statement - both the workers themselves and their patients. After all, a doctor is, first of all, someone who is ready to save our lives day or night, in rain and snow. Even a deadly tired, real doctor will not pass by a person who is ill. Is it possible to leave such selfless people without a professional holiday? In October 2018, the whole country will celebrate Doctor's Day - and on this day we will congratulate all those who deservedly wear white coats of doctors.
The correct name for the holiday is International Doctor's Day or International Doctor's Day. It is celebrated in October, more precisely, on the first Monday of the month.
How did the holiday
The proposal to create a special day that will honor the initiative of doctors, encourage their activity and the importance of their participation in people's lives, was made by WHO - the World Health Organization. The actions of Doctors Without Borders - MSF - a non-governmental humanitarian organization that unites doctors from all over the world, pushed the members of the WHO to this. It was the selfless actions of MSF doctors that made the world think about the importance of affordable healthcare.
What is MSF
MSF - Médecins sans frontières (French), translated into Russian - "Doctors Without Borders". This international organization outside politics and outside governments, whose goal is to provide medical care to victims of disasters and local military conflicts, to all those who are denied qualified medical care due to poverty, race, religious beliefs or political preferences.
Created by MSF in 1971 in Paris on the initiative of UNICEF at the UN. The original purpose of the creation was to provide assistance to the victims of the war that broke out in Nigeria in 1967 and lasted until 1971. Doctors who volunteered for MSF traveled to Nigeria, on the border of the war zone, to help all those unjustly harmed in the local conflict.
Today MSF is a vast international organization that includes 23 associations. Every year, Doctors Without Borders visits more than 80 countries of the world, not excluding "hot spots" - places of open armed confrontation. Membership in MSF and work in difficult areas is entirely voluntary.
MSF is a non-governmental organization and therefore receives funding from independent sources. The headquarters of MSF is located in Switzerland, but the movement operates all over the world without exception.
MSF consists mainly of practicing doctors and medical workers - nurses, orderlies, doctors' assistants. But today it also accepts representatives of other professions who can provide all possible assistance in the activities of the organization - administrators, drivers, coordinators. As a rule, doctors come to the scene and are assisted by administrative and logistical staff, mainly from the local population. Most of The work of members of the organization is free, that is, doctors do not receive any salary for their work. An exception may be the remuneration of hired local staff. However, the costs of travel, the delivery of necessary equipment and medicines, the organization of housing and the protection of doctors are covered by MSF - and the funds for this are formed from donations and their own fund.
The main principles of "Doctors without Borders" are set out in the Charter - a kind of "statutory document", the principles of which are required by all members of the movement. The main idea of the Charter is to provide assistance to any person, regardless of their gender, age, nationality, race, citizenship, religion, social status, sexual orientation and political opinions.
