Educational Program for Oncological Specialists

Dear friend,

Thank you for supporting Ukrainian medical specialists during the most challenging war period. Your help gives hope to doctors, nurses, their patients, the foundation team and all of Ukraine.

In the first quarter of the year, we were engaged in planning and organizing international internships. But many plans were destroyed by the war.

Internship at the Acibadem Maslak Hospital (Department of Pediatric Oncology) and Acibadem Altunizade Hospital (Department of Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplantation, Istanbul, Turkey

Ferneza Severyn, Oncologist of the Pediatric Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant Clinic of the Western Ukrainian Specialized Children's Medical Center trained with Turkey colleagues for two weeks.

Every day, Severyn was present at ward visits, outpatient clinics, and treatment strategies for each patient. It is crucial to gain a lot of experience before opening a BMT branch in Lviv. The experience of Turkish colleagues in the organization of the staff, the structure of the department, features of clinical work, mode and rules of the department - all this was beneficial for launching the effective work of our department.

English language courses

All classes were stopped on February 24. We are now starting to collect requests to learn English. We hope to continue our studies in May.

Leadership School for Nursing

In the first quarter of the year, our nurses, winners of the competition for a grant to improve the department's infrastructure, completed their projects. New equipment was purchased for the manipulation rooms of the neurosurgical departments in Lutsk and Dnipro. Patient lifting devices were purchased for the oncology department in Lutsk.

Because of your support, medical specialists continue their work and professional development for a happy, peaceful future for Ukraine. Thank you.
