The future barrier-free route was tested in the Slavska community
Today, the future barrier-free route in the Slavska community was inspected. This is the third inspection of this type to be carried out this summer. Mykola Nadulychny, one of the representatives of the Barrier-Free Council at the Lviv Regional State Administration, noted that the main goal is not only to check the documentary requirements, but also to take into account the real needs of citizens. People in wheelchairs, people with visual impairments, and veterans with prosthetic limbs were involved, thanks to whom the route is becoming truly high-quality and undoubtedly convenient and safe for travel. Also, on the initiative of Mykola Nadulychny, local authorities fully experienced what it is like to travel in a wheelchair. Such actions help to make truly important and effective decisions and help to understand the extent of the problem from personal experience. The survey in the Slavska community was conducted as part of the flagship project of the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine, ‘Movement without Barriers,’ thanks to which a convenient and accessible route for all population groups will be created in each community.

For the first time in Ukraine — a standard for rehabilitation care for spinal cord injuries
On 8 September 2025, on World Physical Therapy Day, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine published a draft Standard for Rehabilitation Care for Spinal Cord Injuries. This is the first document of its kind in Ukrainian medicine, defining a unified approach to providing care for people with severe injuries. It was created not only by medical experts, but also by the patients themselves — those who overcome the consequences of their injuries every day and know the value of every step, every movement, every return to life. The new standard provides for: prioritising patient safety and dignity; the use of evidence-based practices and techniques; multidisciplinary interaction between specialists. This is not just a set of instructions. It is a language of compassion and responsibility that says, ‘We are with you. We will not leave you alone with your pain.’ The introduction of the standard integrates Ukrainian rehabilitation into global practice and, most importantly, gives thousands of people hope and real opportunities for recovery and a full life.
