A delegation from the Japanese Red Cross and representatives of the National Committee of the Ukrainian Red Cross (URC) familiarized themselves with the implementation of joint humanitarian initiatives in the Ivano-Frankivsk region.
“As part of the visit, the delegation visited the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Clinical Cardiology Center and the Pohonya Psychoneurological Residential Care Facility, where they observed the work of a mobile medical team operating as part of the ‘Comprehensive Support for Primary Health Care in the Ivano-Frankivsk Region’ program in collaboration with partner Medics Opika,” – the UCC reported on Facebook on Wednesday.
The guests paid particular attention to the mobile medical teams’ visits to geriatric facilities in the region. The purpose of these visits is to provide medical care to palliative care patients who require constant medical supervision due to chronic and severe illnesses. During these visits, patients receive primary medical care, necessary consultations, and support from specialized professionals.
The delegation also familiarized itself with the activities of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Organization of the Ukrainian Red Cross. During the meetings, they discussed the results of ongoing programs, experiences of cooperation, and prospects for the further development of joint humanitarian projects aimed at supporting the region’s population.
“Cooperation with the Japanese Red Cross is a vital component of the development of the Ukrainian Red Cross’s humanitarian and medical programs in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. Thanks to the support of our partners, we are able to expand access to quality primary health care, develop the work of mobile medical teams, and provide comprehensive support to people who, due to their health condition, require special attention and care,” the Ukrainian Red Cross noted.
