The First Step Toward a Ukraine Without Pain

Ten Ukrainian military doctors complete the first pain management course of the Ukraine Without Pain project, supported by Nova Ukraine and hosted at Feofaniya Hospital. When a doctor learns a new way to treat pain, that knowledge can travel far beyond a training room. It can shape the care they provide to patients and the practices they share with colleagues. That is the idea behind the Ukraine Without Pain project: teams teaching teams to strengthen medical care for people affected by the war. With the support of Nova Ukraine and several other partners, the first training course in the project’s “Pain Management for Patients with Combat-Related Injuries” track has been completed at Feofaniya Hospital. This is an important first step in a continuing effort to support Ukrainian medical professionals with practical training and opportunities to learn from one another. Inside the Five-Day Course

Preserving Ukrainian Culture

Nova Ukraine's collaboration with Ukraine's Ministry of Culture helps fund national TysyachoVesna initiative for Ukrainian arts and culture. Nova Ukraine is helping ensure that Ukrainian culture continues to thrive despite the ongoing Russian assault. The organization signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine in June, and their first collaborative effort proved to be an inspiring success. Nova Ukraine contributed funding for TysyachoVesna (translation: “Thousand-Spring”), a large-scale initiative to create and support competitive Ukrainian cultural products in the fields of cinema, music, theater, animation, and visual arts. More than 180 independent experts evaluated 2,634 cultural projects that were applying for funding under the program. Of those applications, 1,227 projects advanced to the final pitching and 546 were recommended for government support, according to Ukranews.com. Nova Ukraine provided funding for the work of the independent experts, who ensure a transparent, professional, and high-quality process for evaluating the cultural projects.
