In 2025, more than 33,000 service members received rehabilitation care at medical facilities within the Ministry of Defense system. Rehabilitation covers the acute, post-acute, and long-term phases and is carried out according to individualized plans.
According to the results of 2025, more than 33,000 military personnel received rehabilitation assistance at healthcare facilities within the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Specifically, 10,100 received assistance during the acute rehabilitation period and 23,000 during the post-acute and long-term rehabilitation periods.
According to the “Comprehensive Report of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on the Implementation of the National Strategy for Creating a Barrier-Free Environment in Ukraine for the Period until 2030,” in 2025, specialists from the Medical Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine conducted seven monitoring visits to rehabilitation facilities within the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine system. It was established that assistance is provided in accordance with the requirements of current legislation, and short- and long-term SMART goals are set for each patient. To systematically monitor the implementation of individual rehabilitation plans, regular meetings of multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams are held. These teams assess interim rehabilitation results and adjust goals based on changes in the patient’s functional status. When necessary, the servicemember’s relatives, close associates, and other interested parties are involved in the discussion process.
Rehabilitation assistance for service members during the acute rehabilitation period is provided in rehabilitation rooms established within military hospitals. Post-acute and long-term rehabilitation is provided at the Military Medical Clinical Treatment and Rehabilitation Center, the rehabilitation departments of five military medical clinical centers, six rehabilitation hospitals, and four military units. This organizational structure ensures the continuity of the patient’s rehabilitation pathway.
