More than a thousand families have received monetary assistance from the Ukrainian Red Cross for rehabilitation.
“1,196 families from Kiev and Mykolaiv have received monetary assistance from the Ukrainian Red Cross for the rehabilitation of children and adults totaling more than 35 million hryvnias,” the Ukrainian Red Cross said on Facebook on Thursday.
The Ukrainian Red Cross provided cash assistance to patients undergoing rehabilitation at the National Children’s Specialized Hospital of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine “Okhmatdet” in Kiev and several rehabilitation centers in Mykolaiv under the Cash for Rehabilitation program supported by the British Red Cross. Each patient under the program received 30 thousand hryvnias.
“This amount was determined based on the results of a preliminary survey among families whose children or relatives are undergoing or need physical rehabilitation in medical institutions of the country, in particular, in the Okhmatdet hospital in Kiev and institutions in Mykolaiv,” said Elena Skrypnikova, head of the Innovative Financing Department of the Ukrainian Red Cross.
According to her, the categories of injuries and illnesses for which monetary assistance is provided have also been defined: rehabilitation after wounds received as a result of hostilities or the action of explosive objects; rehabilitation services due to congenital diseases; rehabilitation due to chronic diseases, in particular, oncological, cardiovascular and others.
The majority of children and adults who received cash assistance already have disability status or are in the process of obtaining it. In addition, families surveyed indicated a need for auxiliary aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, hand or foot orthoses.
