Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is not only a literary phenomenon known all over the world, but also a doctor, and therefore our colleague. Few people know, but according to one version of the origin of the Chekhov surname, the ancestor of the great writer and playwright was a runaway Czech from Bohemia, later enslaved in Russia. Czech – Chekhov.

What if this version is the most correct one? Then with the name of our organization we “return” Dr. Chekhov – to the Czechs. As a writer, he came here back in 1898, when in Prague, at the Švandovo divadlo theater, the first foreign production of The Seagull was shown!

In addition to literary merits, Anton Pavlovich had another important feature: he was immeasurably humane and compassionate, this was noted by his contemporaries, this can be seen in each of his works. Such a trait is inherent in all who have met with human pain, and therefore – all doctors. And this is what makes Chekhov closer to us through time.

In addition, doctors are creative people. Members of our society play musical instruments, write poetry and prose. And we hope that in the future the activities of NGOs will include not only the solution of professional issues, but also unite creative doctors.
