President presents order to Roman Kogodovsky and state awards to doctors for saving life of young hero

2 ноября 2021
The Republican Burn Center made more than 20 complicated operations and treated the young hero, Roman Kogodovsky, for half a year. The teenager and his mother visit the President today! Doctors who fought for the child's life also arrived at the Palace of Independence. All the guests became the owners of state awards for their hard work. This ceremony is perhaps the most touching in history! The President notes that the contribution of everyone is invaluable! Doctors fought for the boy like he is their own child. The Head of State thanked Roma for his courage and maturity.

The fire in the house of the Kogodovsky family in Myadel District happened when the parents were not around. The elder Roman first tried to extinguish the flame on his own and after the unsuccessful attempts he took a little brother out of the burning house in his arms. Then he immediately lost consciousness. Roma had burns of 50% of his body, respiratory tract damage. The doctors did everything possible and the boy's condition stabilized only on the 103rd day of treatment. The whole Belarus expressed words of support to Roma. The treatment was under the personal control of the President. Today, the doctors admit that this case was the most difficult in the entire history of the Burn Center.

Roman has yet to undergo a rehabilitation course. Alexander Lukashenko invited all the guests to his personal office. The President will conduct an excursion for Roma!

This is not the only case of miraculous rescue of a child after severe burns. 16-year-old Vadim Palchenko touched the power line wires with a fishing rod and was electrocuted in April! Nevertheless, the boy was sent home after the prolonged treatment.
