The Vadym Stolar Foundation implements a program for the early detection of dangerous diseases among Ukrainians

The Vadym Stolar Foundation together with one of the leading clinics in Kyiv organized a free thyroid examination for privileged categories of citizens.

“Our Foundation has been providing material, physical and psychological support to the military and civilians from the first days of the full-scale invasion. In particular, it organizes regular checkups, diagnostic measures to identify dangerous diseases at various stages. This time we checked the thyroid gland, because this problem is very urgent. After all, thyroid gland diseases rank second after diabetes among endocrine disorders according to the World Health Organization (WHO). More than 200 million people in the world suffer from thyroid pathology. The number of patients is relatively higher in Ukraine than in other countries due to consequences of the Chornobyl accident. And against the background of stress due to war, shelling, losses the danger is increasing", a volunteer of the Foundation Nataliia Prykhodko says.

Ukrainians of privileged categories who currently live in Kyiv were able to join the project. Now they have the results of the examination in their hands, with which they can refer to their doctor if necessary.
