“Well done, guys! Thank you very much – said the head of the Ministry of health of Russia. – For people, especially the elderly, this period was very stressful, and your help means a lot.”

Mikhail Murashko and Radiy Khabirov held the online conference with medical volunteers working in COVID hospitals and discussed issues of concern to the children. For example, fifth-year students working in the "red zone" of an Infectious Disease Hospital asked when a vaccine for the new coronavirus would be available in Russia and how it would be distributed. According to Mikhail Murashko’s words, clinical trials of the vaccines will begin in the coming weeks. He expressed hope that the country would receive the vaccine by the end of the summer.

At the end of the meeting, students presented Mikhail Murashko and Radiy Khabirov with uniform vests of the BSMU volunteer center.
