Dear Colleagues! 

This year is highlighted by a remarkable event - celebration of 200^th anniversary birthday of one of the first Russian nurses Ekaterina Mikhailovna Bakunina. Her name is inseparably linked with both history of the Tver land and the history of foundation and development of Russian medicine. 

In the context of the celebrations the Tver State Medical Academy and the Tver Nursing School together with the Society of Orthodox Doctors will held a conference devoted to the life and work of this outstanding Russian woman. The conference will be attended by members of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences Y.L. Shevchenko, A.G. Chuchalin, S.I. Vorobiev, and President of the Society of Orthodox Doctors A.V. Nedostup.  

The Organizing Committee invites you to take an active part in the conference that will be held in the frame of the celebrations of Days of Slavic Culture on May 24, 2010 in the premises of the Tver State Medical Academy.
