An innovative rehabilitation center for wounded military personnel has started operating in Odesa. This marks the second center in the national Recovery network that has been opened in the Odesa region.

The Odesa Rehabilitation Center is established based on a municipal medical institution under the regional jurisdiction. It has been designed with inclusivity in mind, featuring wide corridors, sanitary rooms, doorways, and no thresholds or handrails in hallways and showers. The center is equipped with innovative technology, including virtual reality, to accelerate patient recovery.

The facility includes physical therapy and kinesiotherapy rooms, three rooms for hardware physiotherapy, an ergotherapy room, a psychological support room, a manipulative room, and 13 wards with 30 beds in total. The center covers an area of 630 square meters.

The innovative rehabilitation center aims to provide Ukrainian wounded servicemen with high-standard rehabilitation for various injuries, including those resulting from explosions. It enables the restoration of lost mobility and functions of upper and lower limbs at a high technological level.

A multidisciplinary team of specialists, including physical rehabilitation doctors, physical therapists, ergotherapists, assistants, speech therapists, and psychologists, will work with each patient in the center, offering high-quality, accessible, and evidence-based rehabilitation services to military personnel who have suffered from the Russian aggression.

Boris Voloshenkov, the First Deputy Head of Odesa Regional State Administration, emphasized the center's commitment to providing every individual affected by the Russian aggression the opportunity to return to a full and healthy life.
