Last week, Swiss TPH welcomed a delegation of Ukrainian experts from the President’s Office, several Ministries, and civil society, working to create a more inclusive and barrier-free Ukraine.
Organised in the frame of the SDC-supported TRUE (Trauma Rehabilitation for Ukraine) project, the week-long visit gave the delegation the opportunity to meet with Swiss institutions working on disability rights and inclusion and to hear people with disabilities share their own lived experiences, covering questions of personal assistance, inclusive education and work reintegration.
TRUE is implemented by Swiss TPH and Пацієнти України as a long-term engagement to strengthen the country's rehabilitation system and facilitate greater inclusion of people with disabilities as well as patients undergoing rehab to recover from trauma.
Thank you to all participants for their time and engagement. It was an honour to host the delegation and to foster continued two-way learning and exchange between Switzerland and Ukraine.
