The room specializes in the treatment of the musculoskeletal system, skin diseases, nervous system, and fractures.

"Restoration of movement is the restoration of functions that were lost as a result of injuries or a disease. The restoration of functions occurs not only at the level of the muscle, but also at the level of the brain: there is a term called neuroplasticity," explains Natalia Obolenska, an expert in psychological, physical and social rehabilitation.

So far, more than 120 soldiers have undergone rehabilitation at the hospital. The chief physician assures that the defenders are actively applying to the rehabilitation department. The rehabilitation program is open to everyone.

"The rehabilitation is going very well, and I wish there were more such institutions. Because, as you can imagine, specialized institutions cannot cope.

The more such halls are opened, the faster we will recover," commented Andriy Zimenko, a soldier.

The MHP team joined the opening of the rehabilitation hall. They assure us that the cooperation was fruitful, and new projects are already being prepared.

"Out of the twenty-eight thousand employees of MHP, one in ten was affected by the war. That is why we set ourselves the task of developing such facilities. We want veterans returning from the war or soldiers undergoing rehabilitation to have really comfortable conditions," says Pavlo Moroz, Director of MHP's Corporate Social Responsibility Department.

Rehabilitation at the hospital is free of charge for military personnel, veterans and their families. The costs are covered by the MHP Community Foundation.
