The D.H.Grindel award by JSC Grindeks is the highest professional honour given for significant or lifetime contribution to pharmacy or medicine.  In 1995 Grindeks presented the award for the first time when the tradition was created to honour the memory of David Hieronim Grindel (1776 \u2013 1836) \u2013 the first natural scientist, doctor and pharmacist of Latvian descent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marking its 20th anniversary the D.H. Grindel Award medal thanks to sculptor\u2019s Oskars Mik\u0101ns creative contribution has been turned into a sculpture. Composed of marble and bronze, the symbolic piece of art carries the message of caring, humanity and responsibility. The sculptor Oskars Mik\u0101ns has named it \u201cWings of Life\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Kirovs Lipmans, the Chairman of the Council of JSC Grindeks: \u201cI am gratified that the D. H.
