Waterford health staff to observe 1 min silence in solidarity with Ukrainian counterparts

Health staff in Waterford will observe one minute of silence next week in solidarity with Ukrainian healthcare workers. 

Chief Clinical Officer of the Health Service Executive (HSE), Dr Colm Henry, is asking staff, patients and visitors to participate at 12pm noon on Tuesday March 15. 

The gesture is planned to show solidarity with healthcare workers in Ukraine treating people in the most difficult of circumstances. 

It comes following news of a Ukrainian maternity hospital being struck by a Russian airstrike, resulting in the destruction of the building and injury of seventeen people. 

HSE South East Community Healthcare, responsible for counties Waterford, Carlow, South Tipperary, Kilkenny and Wexford, is reminding local practitioners wishing to participate. 

People planning to join are advised to do so only if it is safe.
