Medicine program

Our clients are aged people. Most of them suffer from chronic diseases and simply cannot exist without medical care provided by Hesed. “Medicine program” is responsible for that. Its main aim is provision with medicines, if necessary — in-patient treatment, organization of individual consultations at home for those who cannot go out, preventive actions, prosthetics, cataract surgeries and other operations.

As a rule hospitalization takes place in a departmental hospital and stipulated by the agreement with Hesed.

Those who need medical care at home are kindly provided with medical consultations, blood-sugar-tests, blood pressure measurements. Monthly over 2200 Ukrainian citizens make use of pharmacies. Hearing-aids and eyeglasses are free of charge.
