A team of doctors from the National Cancer Institute of Ukraine has completed a professional internship in Sweden. The visit took place as part of a cooperation program funded by the Government of Sweden, which aims to support the development of solid organ transplantation in Ukraine.
The internship was hosted by Karolinska University Hospital, one of the leading medical centers in Sweden and Europe. There, the Ukrainian specialists saw how a modern transplant system works from the inside, from donor coordination to the operating room.
The following NCI specialists took part in the internship:
Organ transplantation requires more than surgical skill. It depends on a well-coordinated system: transplant coordination, donor registries, cooperation between hospitals, and anesthesia support. That is why it was important for the NCI team to see how these processes work in a country with advanced transplant medicine and to bring back practices that can be adapted to Ukrainian healthcare.
We are grateful to our Swedish colleagues for their openness, professional dialogue, and the opportunity to learn together.
The 2026 class of interns has joined the Institute's team. Ahead of them lie clinical practice, mentorship from experienced specialists, and their first independent decisions.
A third high-precision radiation therapy unit will reduce waiting times and expand access to treatment for more patients.
The drug has been purchased with state budget funds for the first time. Who can join the program, which documents to prepare, and how to schedule a multidisciplinary board review.
