Ukraine Otology Foundation
IVANO-FRANKOVISK, Ukraine
Ukraine is a country hampered by war in it’s Eastern region, however in the West, a progressive young physician, Dr. Roman Fishchuk, has been able to develop “The Hearing Center” and in the future a surgical practice which will treat ear disease. The hearing center has full capabilities of audiologic diagnostic services and it is the only center of its kind outside of the Kiev, the capital. In Ukraine the hammer and chisel are still used as one of its methods in performing ear surgery. Aside from this antiquated method, most of the healthcare system follows the old Soviet style. The challenges are enormous, however due to great determination of the younger generation, changes are underway.
