Medical professionals around the world are treated with special respect. In many countries, special dates have been established during which people of this profession are honored. Find out when in 2022 is the Medical Day in Russia, how it is celebrated and what traditions are associated with it.

A bit of history

Medicine has been developing for several millennia and initially its main method was observation. Only recently has such a concept as evidence-based medicine emerged. It received special development along with other sciences in the period of antiquity. Even then, people knew that many diseases spread due to poor hygiene.

But in the Middle Ages, there was a powerful setback in medicine. Scientists call these times a period of cultural and scientific degradation. The following negative processes were noted:

• Total unsanitary conditions. A particularly negative role was played by the lack of sewage systems and personal hygiene habits.
• Low level of medicine. The Church reacted negatively to any action with the human body and scientific discoveries.
• Fanatical religiosity. Any diseases were considered the influence of dark forces and were treated exclusively by church methods.

Only centuries later, medicine began to develop again. This helped humanity to get rid of many infectious diseases forever and find effective methods of treating other pathologies.

Nevertheless, many sciences were persecuted back in the 20th century. For example, genetics in the USSR has long been considered a pseudoscience, despite the fact that it made a significant contribution to the development of medicine, zoology, and botany.

This science has made it possible to find the causes of the development of many inherited diseases, methods of their prevention and treatment.

Currently, almost all countries in the world can boast of outstanding personalities in the field of medicine, who have done a lot for humanity.
