The President will visit the Emergency Children’s Surgery and Traumatology Research Institute, where he will be shown the latest treatment and diagnosis methods used in children’s medical care.
This same day, Mr Putin will present the Order of Parental Glory to the parents of large families from Russia’s nine federal districts.
The Order of Parental Glory is awarded to parents (including adoptive parents), who have raised seven or more children and pay great care to the next generation’s health, education, and physical, spiritual and moral development. The decoration was instituted by a presidential executive order in May 2008, and was first awarded on January 13, 2009.
