A workshop focusing on alternative communication methods for healthcare workers was held in Odesa.

This event was organized with the support of the Department of Health of the Odesa City Council and the Odesa Regional Early Intervention Methodological Center.

Participants included specialists from various fields such as rehabilitation, palliative care, and nursing.

Alternative communication methods are vital for individuals facing communication challenges due to injuries or illnesses.

These methods involve gestures, drawings, and other tools to facilitate communication.

Understanding alternative communication techniques significantly enhances the quality of medical services and patient care.

They also promote social integration and ensure access to healthcare services.

Last week, a similar workshop was conducted for social workers and educators within the framework of the “Barrier-Free Odesa” program.

Barrier-free access encompasses not only physical accessibility but also the availability of medical services for everyone.

The Odesa city authorities are actively working to create a barrier-free environment in line with the national strategy until 2030.
