The Latvian microsurgeon team has already provided invaluable assistance in the war by treating the wounded since the start of Russian invasion in Ukraine. Latvian microsurgeons - Olafs Libermanis and Mārtiņš Malzubris - untiringly "repair" wounded people. Ukrainian health professionals have declared the need for plastic, reconstruction and microsurgery to treat injuries caused by war. Unfortunately, there is a lack of specialists and surgical teams in Ukraine. On 25 February 2023, Latvian surgeons were invited to take action to improve access to microsurgical services in Ukraine. For more than a year, specialists have worked. Currently, it is planned to establish a microsurgical division in an interdisciplinary hospital in the central region of Ukraine. The microsurgical division would be used not only for the treatment of soldiers and civilian populations, but also as a platform for intensive training for Ukrainian doctors and nurses to take over the treatment plans permanently.
First step: to open the microsurgical division at the base hospital by the summer of 2023.
Second step: in the 12 to 18 months to train specialists for a permanent Ukrainian microsurgery team in the next year, which would be permanently able to provide medical treatment to the wounded.
