President Petro Poroshenko awarded three Canadian doctors who provide
treatment for the wounded ATO warriors in the Main Military Clinical Hospital
in the framework of the Ukrainian-Canadian joint initiative.
In the course of the meeting, the Head of State noted: “Thank you for your
care. It is very easy to stay at home and say that you do not care. Your
arrival symbolizes that we are not alone in our struggle against the aggressor.
You are a symbol of global support for Ukraine”.
The President expressed special gratitude to the people of Canada for
helping Ukraine. The Head of State reminded that at the beginning of Russian
aggression in 2014, when Ukraine had had to revive its army and there had been no
clothes for the military, Canada had sent containers with uniform. “You cannot
imagine how many grateful words Ukrainian warriors said to Canadians at that
time,” Petro Poroshenko said.
According to the Head of State, Ukraine managed to improve medical supply
of the military in the last 1.5 years due to the joint efforts of volunteers
and foreign countries, including Canada. Ukraine organizes the exchange of
experience between Ukrainian and foreign doctors, agrees on the treatment of
Ukrainian servicemen abroad and the provision of medicines. Also, a new first
aid kit has been approved recently. Now it meets all the NATO standards.
The President noted the success of the military hospital where thousands of
lives had been rescued. “Today, our military hospital has become a center for
international cooperation where true friends of Ukraine can help Ukrainian
heroes,” the Head of State said. The President emphasized that the hospital had
become a modern medical institution that can share its experience with many
Ukrainian and foreign partners.
In their turn, Canadian doctors handed the national flag of Canada with
signatures in support of Ukraine to the President.
