Congratulations on Doctor and Pharmacist Day!

Dear doctors and pharmacists, resident doctors, and nurses,

On behalf of the academic community of ”Nicolae Testemitanu” State University of Medicine and Pharmacy of the Republic of Moldova, I extend my sincere congratulations to you on the occasion of Doctor and Pharmacist Day. You are the ones who dedicate yourselves to these noble professions that can only be chosen by brave and generous people who deserve all the appreciation and gratitude for their boundless patience, kindness, empathy and spirit of sacrifice.

One day is not enough to demonstrate the importance and generosity of these professions, it is not by chance that the World Health Organization has declared 2021 – the International Year of Health and Care Workers – to highlight their key role in saving lives and maintaining the health of the population, in particular during this period of crisis.

I take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude for the responsibility and professionalism you show in consolidating a healthy society, for your dedication, hard work, and encouraging smiles, hoping that your professional devotion will be rewarded with job satisfaction and accomplishments, patients’ respect and the support of those close to you, that perseverance and selflessness – values ​​which represent you – will be really appreciated and will always accompany you when alleviating human pain and suffering. Be always full of energy, courage, patience and tenacity, offer confidence and security, kindness and hope, and overcome challenges with firmness and optimism.

May peace and health embrace your life and may the love of your dear ones warm your hearts. May the respect and gratitude of your patients light up your path of happiness and success.

Wishing you many years of prosperity on Doctors and Pharmacists Day, I would like to convey to you the assurances of my highest consideration,

Emil Ceban,
