Throughout the two years she has been working at Evacuation Hospital nr. 281, comrade Captain Cherepantseva has been acting as head of the Surgery Section and with honor carried out the tasks assigned to her.

All surgical procedures of the Surgery Section, where comrade Cherepantseva works as a senior resident physician, rest on her shoulders. On average she handles up to 200 wounded men simultaneously.

A large number of secondary sutures are applied here as well by comrade Cherepantseva's tender hand. Here one can observe all kinds of reconstructive surgery – early sequestrotomies, necrotomies, and plastic surgeries, all conscientiously carried out by the talented and rising surgeon that is comrade Cherepantseva.

Comrade Captain of the Medical Service Cherepantseva is deserving and worthy of the Order of the Red Star.
