The III Nursing Forum, co-organised by the Ukrainian-Swiss project Medical Education Development in collaboration with Enabel and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, took place in Kyiv on June 25–27.

The forum’s mission was to unite nursing community leaders and other stakeholders to foster a culture of professional development and the exchange of experience. Topics covered during the three-day event included:

→ a roadmap for nursing development strategy implementation;
→ international experience in nursing education (including insights from Belgium and other EU countries);
→ opportunities to develop potential and expand nurses’ authority;
→ stress management, veteran care, and other pressing issues.

Robin Herrero, Deputy Head of Mission (Embassy of Belgium), and Paola Pavlenko, National Health Expert (Enabel), reaffirmed Team Belgium’s support for Ukraine’s healthcare system.

The forum was supported through the BE-Relieve Ukraine programme. Enabel is currently working on several nursing development initiatives in Ukraine, including the training of multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams and exchanges with Belgian universities and colleges.
