“This award – a sad occasion for joy. Because we all want to live in peace but we are forced to take up arms to defend what rightfully belongs to us – our land. Our hospital during all this time has passed and put on his feet  more than 60 fighters. Fortunately, they are all alive and can plan their lives. In addition, my colleagues have repeatedly went to help the boys. What we saw there – scary, especially now in a time when seemingly all wars are over, “- said General Director of Heart Institute Boris Todurov.
