Dobrobut Medical Network has opened an ophthalmology clinic at its multidisciplinary hospital on Bazhana Avenue in Kyiv. According to a press release from the healthcare chain, the clinic provides a full range of ophthalmology services – from outpatient appointments and diagnostics to surgical interventions of any complexity.
The team of ophthalmic surgeons at Dobrobut Clinic is headed by a married couple – Professor Andrii Sergienko, MD, and Victoria Sergienko, PhD. Professor Sergienko has been developing the field of treatment of retinal diseases and rare eye pathologies for 35 years. He has performed more than 30 thousand surgeries in Europe, Asia and Africa.
The clinic’s team consists of eight doctors who consult and operate. They will involve colleagues from other medical areas of Dobrobut: neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, cardiologists, and oncodermatologists.
The medical network clarifies that the clinic, in particular, provides medical care to the military with eye injuries caused by small metal fragments or blast waves.
“The war has led to an increase not only in the demand for ophthalmic services, but also in the complexity of the problems patients come with. Collaboration with other Dobrobut doctors will allow us to develop new areas, such as ophthalmogenetics and neuro-ophthalmology to treat complex diseases,” Professor Sergienko said in a press release.
“Dobrobut is one of the largest private medical networks in Ukraine. The company’s portfolio includes 17 medical centers in Kyiv and Kyiv region, an emergency service, dentistry and pharmacies. The medical centers of the network provide services for children and adults in more than 75 medical areas. Every year, Dobrobut specialists perform more than 7,000 surgeries. The network employs more than 2,800 people.
Thanks to cooperation with international charitable organizations such as Direct Relief International, Children of War Foundation, International Medical Corps and University of Miami Global Institute, as well as the work of the Dobrobut Foundation charitable foundation, the clinics of the network continued to operate even during the hostilities and provided a significant part of medical services free of charge. Since the first days of the war, the Dobrobut Medical and Diagnostic Center in Kyiv has been providing emergency medical care to Ukraine’s defenders and wounded civilians free of charge 24/7.
