On November 4, 2025, a four-year Ukrainian-Swiss project called «TRUE — Rehabilitation for Ukraine» was initiated, focused on developing a modern rehabilitation system in the country. This was reported by the charity fund “Patients of Ukraine”.
Due to the war, approximately 250,000 Ukrainian patients require quality rehabilitation assistance each year.
The project will run until 2029, with funding from Switzerland amounting to nearly 9 million Swiss francs.
TRUE is funded by Switzerland through the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and will be implemented by the Ukrainian charity fund «Patients of Ukraine» in collaboration with the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH).
The corresponding document launching the project was signed in Kyiv by Ukraine's Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko and the Swiss Federal Council's Delegate for Ukraine, Ambassador Jacques Gerber, who is currently on a working visit to Ukraine.
TRUE will contribute to building a human-centered and sustainable rehabilitation system based on a capable network of healthcare facilities providing free assistance under the Medical Guarantees Program. 
The project will support the introduction of quality international practices and the development of national expertise, allowing Ukrainians to access quality rehabilitation at their local hospitals free of charge and return to active life.
To achieve this, the project will focus on improving legislation, regulatory frameworks, and standards in the field of rehabilitation as well as developing local rehabilitation services. 
Specifically, TRUE will modernize higher education in rehabilitation, improve the skills of specialists through training courses, workshops, and experience exchange. It will assist healthcare institutions with modern rehabilitation equipment and assistive devices.
Special attention will be given to creating clear patient pathways — from hospital beds to returning home and accessing social services.
