We Share Knowledge and Experience: HEALTH

We Share Knowledge and Experience: HEALTH

28.11.2025

On 26 November, we held an online meeting dedicated to medical projects implemented under the Programme PL-UA. At the beginning, we presented the main assumptions of the HEALTH priority. Participants learned about the key areas of support, the share of funds allocated to equipment, infrastructure and other activities, as well as the regions on both sides of the border where medical projects are being implemented. We also showed what the project partners are working on from rehabilitation and childcare to modern diagnostics and digital technologies.

The main part of the meeting consisted of discussions with representatives of four medical projects. The invited guests shared their experiences from implementation, talked about the outcomes of Polish-Ukrainian cooperation, and presented ideas that may inspire other project teams. This allowed participants to see how the Programme’s general assumptions translate into concrete changes in hospitals on both sides of the border.

A representative of the SURLAP project highlighted the importance of sustainability of results:

After the project ends, we want the results to remain. We have prepared video materials and document that clearly show what we did and what other specialists can use.

In the RehabHelpPL-UA project, partners focused on innovations in rehabilitation:

For the first time, robotic rehabilitation systems have been introduced in our hospital. These are unique solutions in our region and a breakthrough for both patients and the therapeutic team.

Hanna Nesteriak – RehabHelpPL-UA Project Coordinator

The LeanHealthcare project demonstrated how much can be achieved through thoughtful work organisation, i.e., applying lean management in the hospital:

When we moved the operating theatre closer to the urology ward, we immediately noticed a difference. The staff spend less time on logistics, patients reach the procedure faster, and safety has improved.

Meanwhile, a representative of the Future4Kids project emphasised the importance of team engagement:

People are our greatest asset. Doctors and nurses willingly participate in training activities within the project, which directly translates into better care for children.

The guests’ statements showed that Polish-Ukrainian cooperation brings real value to the daily work of hospitals. Partners exchange experiences gained in different circumstances, including crisis situations, which helps them improve procedures more quickly, enhance the quality of treatment, and better prepare teams for unpredictable challenges. Modern equipment, training, and jointly developed educational materials help sustain the solutions achieved and create a foundation for future medical staff.

We would like to thank all project representatives for their openness, involvement, and inspiring examples from which other participants can draw while implementing their own initiatives.
