Partnership with Uzhhorod: Plans for a rehabilitation center for war wounded
A delegation from Darmstadt's Ukrainian twin city of Uzhhorod visited the Darmstadt Clinic to discuss medical care and rehabilitation options. According to a press release from the Darmstadt Clinic, there are plans to establish a medical rehabilitation center for war veterans in Uzhhorod.
The visit was prompted by the commitment of the association PDUM Partnership Germany-Ukraine/Moldova e. V. 950 tons of aid supplies in the past three years – most recently a combined heat and power plant for electricity generation.
Impressed by the emergency care in Darmstadt
The four-member delegation from Ukraine consisted of two political representatives of the Regional Council of Transcarpathia and two deputy directors of the city clinical hospital for multiple treatments and the regional center for neurosurgery and neurology.
The guests visited various departments of the hospital, including:
- Central emergency room CT and MRI imaging procedures
- Central operating room with state-of-the-art equipment, including surgical robots and CT navigation.
- Cesarean section rooms and the two large surgical intensive care units
The delegation was particularly impressed by the efficient structure, which allows patients to undergo various treatment steps directly next to each other in an emergency.
Darmstadt Hospital shows its support
During the concluding discussion, Dr. Jörg Noetzel, medical director of the hospital, emphasized:
"It is important to us to contribute to supporting our partner city of Ushgorod, particularly in the area of medical care. Especially in these difficult times, we want to send a signal. We support the partnership initiative and hope that many more supporters will join in."
The Darmstadt Clinic has been active in international collaborations for years and underlines the importance of medical cooperation across national borders with this exchange.
