Rehabilitation Services in Odesa: Expanding Opportunities for Patients

Throughout this year, more than 5000 patients have received rehabilitation assistance in Odesa's healthcare facilities.

Medical institutions have signed agreements with the National Health Service of Ukraine, enabling free services for both local residents and internally displaced individuals.

Seven city hospitals provide outpatient rehabilitation for adults and children. Over the first nine months of 2024, more than 3600 patients received services, including over 1500 children.

Four hospitals in Odesa offer inpatient rehabilitation support, catering to approximately 1500 patients this year, among whom 825 are children.

Adaptive sports play a crucial role in comprehensive rehabilitation, aiding the health and integration of our defenders and veterans into everyday life.

The Odesa City Health Department, in collaboration with NGOs, is actively developing adaptive sports, including basketball, golf, table tennis, billiards, boxing, diving, and more. Portable adaptive golf facilities are being established at city medical institutions.

Thanks to specialized transportation from the City Emergency Medical Aid Center, patients and veterans can be transported for rehabilitation, training, and wellness activities.

To create an accessible environment, the Health Department collaborates with NGOs and foundations. In September 2024, a memorandum was signed with the NGO "Barrier-Free," which includes providing transport with a lift.

A Rehabilitation Coordination Department has been established within the Health Department to ensure efficient access to rehabilitation services in Odesa. The department head, leading rehabilitation specialist Vasyl Rybak, personally meets with veterans weekly and coordinates multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams throughout the city.
