Mobile Rehabilitation Units of the Poltava Regional Branch of the Ukrainian Red Cross — Support at Every Step

With the support of the British Red Cross, mobile rehabilitation units operate across the Poltava region. Each unit is staffed by an experienced physiotherapist, a physiotherapy assistant, and a driver. The team is provided with a vehicle and all necessary equipment to deliver rehabilitation services. They also carry rehabilitation aids, which can be supplied to beneficiaries free of charge when needed.

These units form part of a community-based rehabilitation initiative, offering physical and mental rehabilitation directly in patients’ homes. This enables patients to receive professional care in a comfortable environment without having to visit medical facilities.

The mobile rehabilitation units operate not only in Poltava city but also in remote areas of the region, travelling to those in need of support. They also provide psychological support, which is especially important for people coping with the effects of injury or illness.

The specialists in these units support, motivate, and help patients to return to a socially active life. Home rehabilitation offers each patient the opportunity to recover in a familiar and safe environment while receiving all the necessary care.

Mobile rehabilitation units represent an important step towards ensuring that everyone has access to community-based rehabilitation services.
