Monument to medical workers who died during the Great Patriotic War

The monument to medical workers who fell during the Great Patriotic War is located on the territory of Donetsk Medical University, between the second and first educational buildings. The author of the monument was sculptor Nikolai Yasinenko.

The monument was erected in 1970, with funds raised by students, staff and teachers of the university, in honor of the 25th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War.

The sculpture of the monument is presented as a female priestess, dressed in a tunic and made in Greek style. The image of the monument symbolizes medicine, in the right hand the priestess holds a carnation, and the left hand of the priestess is pressed to the heart, in which she holds the bowl of Hygiea, a snake-healer, a traditional symbol of medicine.

The sculpture is made of bronze, and the pedestal on which the sculpture stands is made of pink granite. Also, not far from the monument, there is a monument - a granite block, into which a bronze board with an inscription dedicated to the fallen medical workers during the Great Patriotic War is poured.

Students of the university call the monument Alma Mater.
