A qualitative assessment of war-related rehabilitation needs and gaps in Ukraine
Ukraine's growing burden of war-related injuries necessitates urgent investment in a coordinated national rehabilitation strategy. Priorities include workforce development, equipment supply, mental health integration, and inclusive care models that address the needs of women and conflict related sexual violence survivors. Evidence-based rehabilitation, supported by validated training for clinicians, is essential for long-term recovery, societal reintegration, and national resilience.
