After the success of our first project in Uzzhorod, where we helped renovate and equip a new rehabilitation wing, the regional government of Transcarpattia invited us to extend our efforts. This post shares the progress we have made in overseeing renovations and delivering much-needed rehabilitation equipment in Tiachiv city, in Ukraine. This location presents unique challenges and opportunities, but the goal remains the same—providing accessible, quality care to those who have sacrificed so much.
Progress in Tiachiv: Building an Outpatient Unit
This project holds a special place in our hearts. The hospital Director, Mr Yarynych Fedir Mykhaiéovich, has undertaken an ambitious task: establishing an OUTPATIENT unit dedicated to treating injured soldiers. This new center will offer a variety of after-care treatments, including mental health support, which is essential for holistic recovery. As we are looking at supporting an aid project in 2027 related to mental health, this new downtown clinic will have valuable results, pilot projects, and more. We are very much looking forward to seeing progress.
Walkthrough Video of the Renovation: the New Outpatient Clinic as we saw it in December 2025
This video highlights the extensive renovation of the new outpatient clinic. We aim to offer valuable insights into the renovation phase as we experienced it, illustrating the magnitude of work required. During wartime, when personnel are needed in other areas, completing such a task is enormous.
We have already delivered all the necessary equipment to this clinic, laying the foundation for a comprehensive rehabilitation program. At the time of our visit, they were kept in boxers, but for long now: the outpatient unit is expected to be fully operational by Spring 2026.
The focus on mental aid alongside physical rehabilitation reflects a growing understanding of the challenges soldiers face after injury. Providing this support locally means patients can access care without having to leave their families or communities.
Ongoing Support for Veterans
We met a group of veterans gathering at the hospital. This is a regular event aimed at celebrating the heroes of the city and district. Alex Davern, on behalf of Direct Aid for Ukraine, addressed the group, assuring them that many Americans stand in solidarity with them. He explained the reason for our presence: to assist with rehabilitation equipment for the new downtown outpatient clinic. The new outpatient clinic will provide ongoing support, including both physical and mental aid, to the veterans in the community.
Looking Ahead: The Road to Tiachiv and Beyond
In our previous blog post, we detailed our work in the cities of Uzzhorod, Berehove, and Rakhiv. All these initiatives set a strong example of what can be achieved through partnership and community involvement.
Supporting these clinics is about more than just buildings and equipment. It is about creating a network of care that reaches every corner of Transcarpattia. Local treatment centers reduce travel time and stress for patients, speeding up recovery and improving quality of life.
We are proud to work alongside the regional government and local businesses to make these projects possible. Their dedication and cooperation are vital to the success of rehabilitation efforts across the region.
