Swiss German-language daily newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung has published a feature about PDMSh volunteer Olha Suppan.
The article is not only about Olha Suppan’s frontline rotations with PDMSh, but also about how war gradually changes a person who constantly works alongside the wounded and death. It also explores the psychological pressure faced by medics, adaptation to war, the difficulty of returning to civilian life after rotations, and the internal changes experienced by volunteers.
The feature includes Olha’s personal reflections on fear, exhaustion, responsibility toward patients, and why she continues to return to the front despite everything she has experienced.
