In 2024, the Karazin University Alumni, Faculty and Friends Association implemented a project to establish the "KARAZIN ReHab Scientific and Practical Rehabilitation Center" based at the Veteran Development Center of Karazin University. The renovation and equipment of the facilities were carried out under the technical administration of ISAR Ednannia and with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine, funded by the European Union through the *EU4Recovery – Empowering Communities in Ukraine* project and by the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The project was also supported by Karazin University alumna and Paralympic medalist Marina Lytovchenko.

The project aimed to create a modern space for comprehensive physical and psychological rehabilitation of veterans, their family members, people affected by the war, and individuals requiring recovery after injuries and illnesses. At the same time, the center serves as a practical training and research facility for students, interns, faculty members, and researchers of the School of Medicine at Karazin University.

As part of the project, two functional areas were established within the center: a physical rehabilitation space and a dedicated area for manual therapy, training sessions, and workshops. The center was equipped with modern rehabilitation equipment, including a professional Redcord Workstation Professional system, a rehabilitation treadmill, parallel bars for gait recovery training, wall bars, massage tables, and other specialized equipment for physical therapy and rehabilitation.

Following its opening, the center hosted presentations and practical training sessions for students, interns, physicians, and faculty members of the School of Medicine. Participants had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with modern approaches to physical rehabilitation, treatment of combat-related injuries, and the use of specialized rehabilitation equipment.

The project became an important step in strengthening the university’s rehabilitation ecosystem in frontline Kharkiv and demonstrated the effectiveness of cooperation between civil society organizations, the university, and international partners. Today, KARAZIN ReHab serves not only as a space for rehabilitation and support for veterans and people affected by the war, but also as a platform for educating future healthcare professionals and advancing modern rehabilitation medicine practices in Ukraine.
