Inside The Trauma Centers Treating Ukraine’s Veterans
Psychologists in Ukraine are working to change that.
In April 2015, Col. Dr. Vsevolod Stebliuk, a medical adviser for Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, founded a center to treat physical and psychological traumas at the Irpin Military Hospital, located in a forest outside Kyiv. Stebliuk himself suffered a period of psychological trauma after working as an anesthesiologist at Ilovaysk, where over 600 people died in clashes between troops and separatists in August 2014.
