Medic with the call sign Hippocrates: the story of the fallen paramedic Oleksandr Pererva

According to Міністерство Здоров'я: Oleksandr Pererva was born in 1998 in Dnipro, where he received his education at a medical college. Later, he worked as a paramedic in an emergency medical center. With the outbreak of war in 2022, he participated in the evacuation of the wounded from Mariupol.

Oleksandr voluntarily joined the special forces unit 'Kraken' and performed tasks as a junior sergeant with the call sign 'Hippocrates,' conducting important reconnaissance and diversionary operations.

‘There was no foreign trouble for him; he always tried to help everyone. During leave and meeting abroad, his mother asked him to stay, but he replied: “No, I can't. Don’t even ask. How will my guys do without me?”

His comrades called him 'a ray of sunshine,' while he carried out combat missions, taught medical tactics, and assisted the wounded.

On December 18, 2024, Oleksandr died in the village of Pyatykhatky in the Vasylkiv district, giving his life for his country. He was only 26 years old. Eternal memory to his feat.
