At the end of the March doctors-otolaryngologists celebrated memorable date - the 115th anniversary of the birth of Olexiy KOLOMYICHENKO, the prominent scientist, the professor, the founder of the Institute of Otolaryngology, named after him. He was born on March 30, 1898, in the town Shpola in Cherkasy region. The boy from a large country family showed his thirst for knowledge. He found his mission at the medical faculty of the Kyiv University (now it is the National Medical University named after academician O.O. Bogomolets), choosing otolaryngology as his lifework from the student’s time.
