Primorsky Krai Launches Training Sessions to Improve Cooperation Between Doctors and Combat Veterans

A series of educational meetings aimed at fostering effective communication between physicians and participants in the special military operation has begun in Primorsky Krai. The pilot event took place at Vladivostok Polyclinic No. 3, where medical professionals and veterans discussed ways to streamline treatment and make it more psychologically comfortable.

The initiative was spearheaded by Alena Shtybina, head of the Nadezhny Tyl (Reliable Rear) charity foundation and a member of the regional public council for the Women's Movement of United Russia project. She emphasized that open dialogue will help establish a unified system of care.

"When our servicemen return from the front, everything must be ready for their homecoming. Today's meeting is the first, a pilot at Polyclinic No. 3. Moving forward, we plan to hold similar sessions in every clinic to teach doctors and veterans how to work together effectively—so our fighters can recover faster," Shtybina said.

Fast-Track Care for Veterans Chief physician Angela Kabieva explained how the clinic's intake process works—from paperwork to diagnostics and treatment. Veterans of the special military operation receive priority access through a "green corridor," meaning no waiting in line, with all necessary examinations and consultations expedited.

One veteran, Yevgeny Poltoratsky, shared his experience. A volunteer assault trooper since 2024, he was wounded in action and later treated in Rostov and Samara before being transferred to Primorsky Krai.

"The doctors here are doing everything they can—I'm deeply grateful to Polyclinic No. 3. They took me in quickly, ran all the tests, and guided me through every step," he said.

Beyond routine appointments, the clinic's medical prevention unit helps veterans restore their health during the reintegration period. In Primorsky Krai, veterans and their families benefit from a wide range of social support measures, including a well-established system of medical care and rehabilitation.
