MUNICIPAL NON-PROFIT ENTERPRISE CENTRAL CITY CLINICAL HOSPITAL OF CHERNIVTSI CITY COUNCIL

The Central City Clinical Hospital (hereinafter referred to as the CCCH or the Hospital) is submitting this application for funding to establish a Pain Centre — a specialised clinic for the interventional management of chronic pain. The project aims to introduce modern, minimally invasive methods for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain syndrome, which are currently virtually unavailable to patients in the region within a single, coordinated service.

The relevance of the project has increased significantly in the context of full-scale war: a substantial rise in the number of veterans and civilians suffering from chronic pain syndrome following injuries, amputations, mine- and explosive-related injuries, and prolonged treatment is creating a burden that the existing healthcare system is unable to fully address with its current resources.

The project comprises four interlinked components: (1) equipping the clinic with state-of-the-art equipment for interventional pain management; (2) the refurbishment and adaptation of the premises in accordance with health and safety requirements; (3) the training of medical staff in accordance with international protocols; (4) the launch of pilot clinical activities, followed by a transition to financial sustainability within the framework of the tariffs set by the National Health Service of Ukraine (NHSU).
