EU Projects in Ukraine: Turning Innovation Into Patient Impact, Uliana Sydor

Uliana Sydor, Project Manager from Central City Clinical Hospital in Ivano-Frankivsk, gave us some insight into EU Projects and Ukraine.

Uliana explains how managing an EU project helps hospitals bring real improvements to doctors and patients — from keeping timelines and compliance on track to testing and scaling new tools in hospital wards. Her team measures progress through three metrics: patients helped, staff trained, and equipment installed.

She also highlights why EU programmes matter for Ukraine: they provide access to knowledge, innovation, and cross-border collaboration, helping hospitals become stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to deliver high-quality care.
