The team of InterFamily Clinic, together with Advent Relief (USA), has successfully completed a mobile
health outreach program for residents of the Radvanka neighborhood in Uzhhorod. Traditionally focused
on supporting internally displaced persons (IDPs), this initiative also expanded its reach to the local Roma
community, helping bring essential healthcare services closer to those with limited access.

For nearly a week, doctors, volunteers, students, and medical residents together with the volunteers from
Advent Relief, worked side by side to create a fully functioning mobile clinic outside the traditional
healthcare setting. The project demonstrated that quality medical care is defined not by buildings, but by
the knowledge, professionalism, and commitment of the people providing it. Beyond providing immediate
support, the initiative also offered valuable hands-on experience for students and interns, helping prepare
the next generation of medical professionals.

During the program, the team delivered primary healthcare services, conducted medical examinations, and
supported patients living with chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Healthcare
professionals also provided disease screening, adjusted treatment plans when necessary, and referred
patients to specialists to ensure continuity of care.

Prevention was a key focus of the initiative. The team used the CheckMe program, developed through the
European projects ShowUp4Health and MIMiND, to assess health risks and create personalized evidence-
based prevention plans for patients.

Together, it was once again proved that care knows no borders and that healthcare can be brought closer
to people, regardless of circumstances.

A Message from Advent Relief (USA)

“Our team in Ukraine has spent the last several weeks conducting highly successful community health
programs in an underserved community in Western Ukraine with limited access to healthcare. With more
than 600,000 internally displaced people now living in Western Ukraine, local healthcare services continue
to face significant pressure.

This program was made possible through our partnership with Dr. Pavlo Kolesnik and the outstanding
teams at InterFamily Clinic and InterFamily Space. We are deeply grateful to our volunteers, especially
Jessica Wyman from House of Compassion, for helping make this initiative a success.
We look forward to continuing our work together to improve access to healthcare for vulnerable
communities across Ukraine”.
