The «Hippocrates Cup» returns to Ungheni: a second women's volleyball tournament honouring medics

On Sunday, 21 June, on Medical Worker's Day, the Ungheni Sports School hosts the second edition of the «Hippocrates Cup» women's volleyball tournament — a contest launched last year by the Ungheni Health Centre with four teams and now billed as «republican». Behind the celebration, though, lies a harsher reality: over eight years the district has lost 26 doctors and 94 nurses, and the district hospital has 25 vacant doctor posts.
