This is our contribution to help the Ukrainians.

We continue our meeting with the team of the Rehabilitation Medicine Center of the Poltava Regional Clinical Hospital named after M.V. Sklifosovsky.

Eleonora Bilokin, a physiotherapist's assistant, works in the room with the patient Oleh Pavlov.

- Good morning! How is your treatment going?

- I am Oleh Pavlov, I was admitted to the Poltava Regional Hospital with a stroke and paresis of the left side. I was admitted to rehabilitation without the ability to stand or walk. In 9 days I learned to stand and started to move my fingers. The team here is great - a team of doctors, physiotherapists, physiotherapist assistants. I am guided by Mrs. Eleonora, who helps me to get back on my feet. I am grateful to the staff of the center for their attention and my recovery!

- Mrs. Eleonora, how do you achieve such results?

- My name is Eleonora Bilokin, I have been working in the physiotherapy department for almost 15 years. I started working at the center when it was opened. This is our joint contribution to help Ukrainians. I really like to help people, to help them with their problems, to see them recover. Thanks to the joint teamwork and the use of modern rehabilitation equipment, along with the patients' desire for recovery, we see positive results. We see that the hope and inspiration we invest in our patients inspires them, stimulates them to train, accelerates and improves their results.

- We wish all patients of the center a quick recovery!

- We thank all employees of the center for their necessary work and for keeping Ukrainians healthy.
