Sweden Supports Rehabilitation for Ukrainian Soldiers
The Swedish government has decided to fund the creation of a rehabilitation center in Ukraine for military personnel who have been injured.
This was announced by the press service of the Swedish government.
The center will be part of a project that has been jointly implemented by NATO and Ukraine over the past two years.
The aim of the project is to assist injured servicemen in their rehabilitation, enabling them to return to active duty in the Armed Forces of Ukraine or to lead a full civilian life if possible.
“Ukraine is fighting not just for its freedom but for ours too. Continuing our support in this struggle is the most important task of security policy today,” stated Swedish Minister of Civil Defense Karl-Oskar Bolin.
Health Minister Acko Ankarberg Johansson expressed that the support for rehabilitating injured soldiers is highly needed.
“This assistance will also play a vital role in the reform and modernization of the Ukrainian healthcare system. I am very pleased that Swedish expertise and interest in Ukraine's affairs can contribute to this,” she added.
The task set by the Swedish government includes the modernization and adaptation of an existing building in Ukraine, the purchase and installation of modern medical rehabilitation equipment, as well as training of medical personnel in the fields of traumatology, trauma medicine, and physical and psychological rehabilitation.
The implementation of the project is scheduled from July 2025 to July 2027.
