Mobile rehabilitation units of the Ukrainian Red Cross begin operating in the Zaporizhzhia region

Residents of the Zaporizhzhia region who require rehabilitation services but live in remote communities without access to specialised facilities can now receive support directly at home. The mobile rehabilitation team made its first visit last week to the Stepne rural community.

During visits, a physical therapist and an assistant assess each individual’s physical condition, develop a personalised rehabilitation plan, conduct sessions, and provide assistive devices along with recommendations to improve living conditions.
Rehabilitation services are available by referral from a hospital, family doctor, social services, or Ukrainian Red Cross volunteers. You can also contact the Ukrainian Red Cross hotline at 0 800 332 656.

This initiative is part of a community-based rehabilitation programme supported by the German Red Cross.
