A project on the exploits of military medics was launched in the Tula region

A new project "The feat of medics" was launched in the Tula Region. It is dedicated to local doctors and medical workers who worked during the Great Patriotic War.

One of the heroes of the project was Vera Gumilevskaya, who would have turned 139 years old on February 17, 2025. As TSN24 writes, this woman was the first head doctor of the Tula Central Maternity Hospital.

The hospital did not stop working during the war years, despite the lack of staff, artillery and mortar shelling and light outages. In the central maternity hospital 459 children were born during the defense of Tula.

The project "The feat of medics" is realized on the initiative of the regional Ministry of Health.

In early February, 99-year-old WWII veteran Nadezhda Toptunova told Izvestia about the difficulties of nurses' work during the Great Patriotic War. According to her, then the battle with death was not only in the soldiers' trenches on the front line, another round-the-clock battle for the lives of soldiers was waged under fire by front-line doctors and nurses.
