Improving the effectiveness of rehabilitation care for servicemen in outpatient settings

Abstract

The experience of two world wars, numerous smaller-scale armed conflicts of the last century and no less bloody wars and conflicts of the first quarter of the twentyfirst century (in which Ukraine was involved) has led to the rapid development of rehabilitation systems for military personnel in many countries of the world. According to current data from the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX), more than 70 per cent of veterans have sought medical care to restore their physical or psychological health after completing military service. Today, this negative trend is only growing due to the ongoing and largest war in Europe, and increases the demand for quality and effective rehabilitation services in Ukraine.
