Representatives of the Donetsk Regional State Administration became acquainted with the activities of another relocated institution from Donetsk region — the State Center for Comprehensive Rehabilitation for Persons with Disabilities "Donbas-Prykarpattia," which operates in Ivano-Frankivsk.
The institution, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, operated in Kramatorsk since 2007 before the full-scale invasion. After the forced relocation, rehabilitation services are provided at two locations — in Ivano-Frankivsk and at a branch in the village of Ugryniv.
The center offers a wide range of services: physical, social, psychological, sports rehabilitation, medical supervision, as well as medical rehabilitation. Services are provided to both adults and children with disabilities, including internally displaced persons from the Donetsk region.
The center is also included in the Register of entities providing psychological assistance to veterans and their family members. Defenders of Donetsk region can use psychological support from specialists free of charge, which has been confirmed by positive feedback from those currently in the institution.
At the same time, the institution can accommodate up to 30 clients, and about 350 people from various regions of Ukraine undergo rehabilitation throughout the year.
The center has managed to preserve a significant part of its material and technical base — medical and sports equipment necessary for the effective recovery of patients, improving trophic processes, and achieving results with minimal strain on the body. To further improve conditions and update resources, 2 million hryvnias were allocated from the regional budget this year.
During the visit, a meeting was also held with the head of the NGO "Donetsk Regional Organization of the All-Ukrainian Organization Union of Persons with Disabilities of Ukraine," Nadiia Palamarchuk. The parties discussed current issues regarding the functioning of institutions in the new conditions and possible ways to solve problems.
The rehabilitation center "Donbas-Prykarpattia" continues its mission, providing support to those who need it most. In wartime, such institutions are critically important for restoring health, returning to a full life, and preserving the dignity of every person.
