Ukraine begins with you! These words of Viacheslav Chornovil sound especially powerful today.
35 years ago Ukraine restored its independence. Over this time, we have travelled a difficult path. And today we are once again fighting for the right to determine our own future.
Because independence is not only about borders, a flag or state symbols. It begins with each of us and with what we do every day. At the front. In a hospital. At a university. In production. In a state institution.
At the State Expert Center, we too do our part in the common cause: we work to ensure that Ukrainians have access to quality, safe and effective medicinal products, we develop expert evaluation, and we work in the field of clinical trials, pharmacovigilance, health technology assessment and standards of medical care.
Behind all these areas are people. Our colleagues who work every day, help, volunteer, donate, give blood and support one another.
Over 35 years, Ukraine has gone through many trials. And today we understand well: its strength is made up of millions of people who defend, work, help and never stop believing in their country.
Happy Independence Day of Ukraine!
