Swiss German-language daily newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung has published a feature about PDMSh volunteer Olha Suppan. The article highlights her frontline rotations, work with wounded patients, and the experience of Ukrainian volunteer medics during the war.

On April 21, the official opening of the Swiss foundation Stiftung Ukraine, established by our team, took place in Zurich.

From April 1 to 5, a training was held at the PDMSh Education, Training and Rehabilitation Center, focused on practical skills for supporting veterans, working with stress and traumatic experiences, and developing peer-to-peer support.

The story of a PDMSh paramedic, a servicemember of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and a Hero of Ukraine who chose Ukraine and gave her life for it.

On March 14, we gathered together to celebrate Ukrainian Volunteer Day. On this day, PDMSh volunteers received state and departmental awards, and two of our volunteers were personally awarded medals “For a Life Saved” by the President of Ukraine.

Today, on the Day of the Ukrainian Volunteer, we want to congratulate everyone who is part of this path — those who once chose it and those who continue walking it today. Those who defend, rescue, help, and together fight for the future of our country.

A tactical medicine course for PDMSh team members was held at the PDMSh Educational, Training and Rehabilitation Center (ETRC). Participants combined theoretical training with hands-on simulation exercises, practicing key algorithms for providing medical care in combat conditions.
