WAY TO HEALTH

Recovery Support

Throughout its entire period of activity, the foundation has systematically directed financial assistance to the recovery of military personnel, veterans, and civilians affected by the war.

Over more than three years of work, we have supported 500+ patients who sought help with various injuries and conditions, including:

• mine-blast injuries
• gunshot and shrapnel wounds
• musculoskeletal injuries
• traumatic brain injuries
• severe concussions
• limb amputations
• post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• anxiety disorders

Ambulance Procurement

From the very first days of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, our international friends have actively supported our work. Among them is Strategic Edge — a company with which we share a long and trusted partnership.

Together with them, Swiss combat paramedics travelled to Ukraine — people who don't merely voice their support, but who are ready to work personally in conditions close to those of the front lines.

One day they made a proposal that turned out to be extraordinarily important to us — to hand over an ambulance to our foundation. We accepted without hesitation.

The official handover took place at the Embassy of Switzerland in Ukraine, in Kyiv. It was not just a formality, but a symbol of trust, partnership, and international support for Ukraine. Our Swiss partners, the paramedics, and representatives of the foundation all took part in the event.

Humanitarian Missions

The first mission using the new ambulance took place in eastern Ukraine, in the city of Lyman.

Together with our friends from abroad, we carried out medical check-ups for the local population and provided free medicine and medical assistance. In regions affected by combat, access to healthcare is often limited or entirely absent — especially for the elderly, for children, and for those who have been unable to leave.

In addition, our international partners delivered paramedic training to Ukrainian soldiers — a brigade that stands directly in defence of our country. It was an extraordinarily valuable exchange of experience, both for our military and for the instructors themselves. In such conditions, knowledge can mean only one thing — a life saved.

This entire mission was organised by the «Way to Health» Charitable Foundation. It is just one example of the work we carry out in Ukraine every day.

Implementing International Projects

As part of the «Overcoming PTSD and Anxiety Disorders» project, we worked to restore the psychological well-being of people affected by the war. The main goal was to help them cope with PTSD and other traumatic conditions linked to their experiences.

A separate strand of the project focused on training psychological ambassadors — specialists who could go on supporting those affected long after the project itself. This part was carried out with the support of Edessa Ramos.

Project outcomes:

• 1,100 individual and group consultations were held for people affected by the war — both offline and online, across Ukraine;
• 7 psychological ambassadors were trained, and they continue to provide support within their communities.
