Multiple Sclerosis project “Nasha Rodyna”
In 2008-9, UFA’s Health Care program initiated the “Nasha Rodyna” or “Our Family” project. “Nasha Rodyna” addresses the needs of patients afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis and their overburdened families. Our goal is to address the following issues:
• To enable Ukraine to be connected with the MS International Federation. This cooperative effort will strengthen our ability to move forward to fight MS on a global scale.
• Organizing customized wheelchairs for patients with specific individual needs.
• Acquire hospital beds for patients with 2-nd and 3-rd degree disability.
• Aiding the financing of hospital supplies for patients that include bed linens, blankets and the necessary toiletries.
• Develop and implement training programs for the care of MS patients.
• Assign social workers to families with MS patients, who will provide information on rehab programs treatment, and other available options of resolving complicated situations in the most comfortable way.
• Work towards the establishment of a research center specializing in the MS field.
• Organizing and financing of summer camps for children of MS patients and children that have been diagnosed with MS. In the summer of 2008, Bohdanna Yudina, UFA’s director of this project, organized a highly successful specialized retreat-camp in the beautiful Carpathian Mountains for several of these children.
