The Swedish government has allocated funding for the creation of a rehabilitation center in Ukraine, where injured soldiers will receive treatment.

This was announced by the press service of the Swedish government.

The center will be part of an initiative jointly implemented by NATO and Ukraine over the past two years.

The primary goal of the initiative is to rehabilitate injured service members so that they can return to active duty in the Armed Forces or lead fulfilling civilian lives.

"Ukraine is fighting not only for its freedom but for ours as well. Continuing to support them in this struggle is the most important task of security policy in our time," said Sweden's Minister of Civil Defense Karl-Oskar Bolin.

Health Minister Ako Ankarberg Johansson stated that assistance in rehabilitating injured soldiers is highly needed.

"This support will also be a crucial part of reforming and modernizing the Ukrainian healthcare system. I am very pleased that Swedish expertise and interest in Ukraine's affairs can contribute to this," she added.

The tasks set by the Swedish government include modernizing and adapting an existing building in Ukraine, purchasing and installing modern medical rehabilitation equipment, and training relevant medical personnel in the fields of traumatology, physical, and mental rehabilitation.

The project is set to be implemented from July 2025 to July 2027.
