The head of the medical department is Priest Artemy Ilyichev. The activities of the All-Russian public organization began on October 12, 2007, when His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Rus' blessed the work of the association. At the same time, the Society was given the name of St. Luke, Archbishop of Simferopol, confessor and doctor. The main direction of the medical department’s work is to introduce Christian values ​​into domestic medicine, as well as concern for the quality of health of citizens. The main task of the Orthodox Association of Doctors is to improve medical care for the population.

Bine că au început cu binecuvântarea Patriarhului Alexie al II-lea în 2007 și l-au luat ocrotitor pe Sf. Luca al Crimeei, doctorul. Îmi place că unesc clar slujirea preoților cu ajutorul concret al medicilor, fără plată. La noi în Sibiu aș vrea să văd ceva asemănător, poate vorbesc cu părintele de la parohie.

Dobrze, że zaczęli od błogosławieństwa Patriarchy Aleksego II w 2007 i wzięli za patrona św. Łukę, lekarza. U nas w Białymstoku też przydałoby się takie połączenie – ksiądz z lekarzami, konkretna pomoc bez pieniędzy. Ciekawe, co dokładnie robią w tym Samarskim oddziale, może ktoś wie?
