Christmas meeting of doctors of the Odesa branch of AUMA

Dear colleagues!

Back in 2003, the history of Christmas meetings of doctors in Odesa began: from the time when Professor O.O. Zelinsky headed the Odesa Regional Union of the All-Ukrainian Medical Association (AUMA). Then, in the House of Scientists, which for many years became a family for the medical community of Odesa, Oleksandr Oleksiiovych personally met the guests and he had a special warm word for each of them.

The history of Christmas meetings

On December 23, 2022, despite the difficult time for our country, the 17th Christmas meeting of doctors of the Odesa branch of the VULT was held, during which representatives of 18 medical associations (obstetricians-gynecologists, anesthesiologists, neurosurgeons, family doctors, otorhinolaryngologists, surgeons, etc. ) the results of the work were summarized, professional achievements were discussed, and the main directions of further work were indicated.
During the meeting, the colleagues who were the best in their daily activities, including those working directly on the front lines, were awarded with awards and badges of honor.

The award ceremony

A separate event within the framework of the Christmas meeting was a charity fair called "The Black Sea will still smile", the purpose of which was to raise funds for the support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Products created by schoolchildren of the Avangardiv Gymnasium of the Avangardiv Settlement Council and homemade baked goods were presented at the fair
The collected funds were sent for the purchase of medical products for one of the hospitals in the Bakhmut region.

Currently, Professor Zelinsky's Christmas meetings symbolize the unity of doctors of the Odesa region and make it possible to receive not only professional support from colleagues in our difficult specialty, but also to feel warmth and sincerity, to get positive emotions from informal communication for further life and work.

Dear colleagues! Once again, we congratulate you on the New Year and Christmas holidays! We wish health, family well-being, and professional success in the circle of relatives, loyal and loving people under the Peaceful Sky!
