Today, residents of the Glushkovsky district say goodbye to one of the oldest doctors in the region, Marya Ivanovna Tokareva.
In the distant 50s, Marya Ivanovna, a graduate of the Kursk Medical School, was assigned to a small hospital in the Kyrgyz gorges. She lived for weeks in the camp yurts of nomadic herders, vaccinating against the terrible disasters of that time – smallpox and anthrax.
After the institute – a new, even more distant point on the map of the USSR – Chuvashia, the fight against tuberculosis and other scourges. At 83 years old, in the early 20s of this century, Maria Ivanovna was on the front line of the fight against a new deadly disease – coronavirus.
She worked as a general practitioner at the Glushkovo Central District Hospital for more than 50 years. And at 85, she continued to work, albeit not full-time, write colleagues from the Rodnye Prostor newspaper.
The editors of the news agency KURSKCiTY express their condolences to the family and friends of Marya Ivanovna.
