has been integrated into the all-ukrainian school league, and we will now try to launch it within the borders of our entire state, there will be a lot. there will be a lot of selection of children, and for sports competition and selection are the two most important components that will allow the sport to develop, it is nice, many teams have come, good competition, and we are preparing for the all-ukrainian school club, i have heard about rugby for a long time, because i have been playing simple rugby for four years, because my father told me that i used to do a cool sport, i decided to try it, i liked it, and now i do it. i also liked the school leagues, i started to do them too, i started telling my friends that the school leagues are fun, you can't do it there nothing to break, because it’s simple or something, and many friends came to school leagues there, we made our own team, i was the captain in it, they are young people who don’t care, in

the village of the division of the lviv region, the international volunteer reconstruction camp is restoring one of the monuments architectural landmark: the palace-park cube... the zhivuskyi lianskoronskyi complex to the mission of the public organization building ukraine together, invited romanian specialists of the initiative quick help for monuments. over the course of two weeks , romanian colleagues shared their experiences with students of archeology and architecture of ukrainian universities. this camp is the first such restoration camp, that is, there are volunteers here, it is a specialized one. by architects, that is, they have an architectural or archaeological background, and they work to learn, that is, our task is to teach our volunteers and to learn ourselves and to develop partnerships in order to continue cooperation and continue the restoration of the heritage itself, and so that we, as an organization, they did not limit themselves, for

me it is like for an architect, through a prism years to look at all these buildings, because someone will say that it was so, it was a palace, someone will say that it was stables, and most say that it was a sanatorium, we want, first of all, to show people with our work that this is history, this is first of all a palace, there is a foundation here, there is an incredible history here, this place has an incredible energy, you can even say, well, as an architect, it was incredibly interesting for me, and for more interesting videos, look for more interesting videos on the espresso channel on youtube, be sure be sure to subscribe, whether there are live broadcasts, all news releases, programs and special projects that can only be seen here, also short videos on hot topics in the shorts section, share them, comment, be around, that's the business for the moment, i tell you, see you at 18, i'll wait for you with the final news release and you can always read more about important things on our website espresso tv, because my colleagues work for you around the clock, also subscribe to

our channels on social networks and see you at 6 p.m. i have a person visiting today. extremely devoted to her work, this is oleksandra balyasna, she is the head of the board of the association of parents of premature children, early birds, and she is also a member of the advisory board of the european health foundation. newborn children. sasha, i welcome you here today in this studio. hello, thank you very much for the invitation, it is a great honor for me to be on the air, on your program. look, i want to talk to you today about... your war experience. we understand that on february 24

, 2022, although the war has been going on for more than 10 years in our country, this date has changed the lives of many ukrainians. and i want to to hear your experience today, as it is very important, because in the same way, during the war , children continue to be born, and even more so , children in a hurry. who do not ask anyone and are also born, and they need even more such, let's say, specific medical care, so i want you to share your experience today, tell our viewers about all this, and let's start from this very date: what did you do in this day, where was your family and how did this date change your life? for me february 24 is the same as for everyone ukrainians were shocked enough. change, we did not prepare for this in our family, of course , there were many conversations about it, there was a lot

of context, such a large amount of information, but at the same time we did not pack our bags, because we did not believe that this could happen in the city center, in the center of the country, and in any case, crisis decisions had to be made on that day, and for the entire team to ensure safety first of all, so that everyone moved to a safer place, for each family it was someone's problem... someone's decision not really, and they ended up in more noisy areas near kyiv, but in any case , they spent a certain amount of time, a few days, a few weeks , for everyone to feel more stable, they were very worried about our colleagues in mariupol, when the green window did not it was shining for a very long time until mid-march, we were very worried about our colleagues in dnipro, those who had not been in touch for a long time, we tried to get settled, to find a plan b for them, where they could feel more secure. protect yourself and your children, actually for the first time were engaged in this chaotic process of moving

people and at the same time tried to dig out the one that was like a letter, as they say, private, all the messages that poured in were of a completely different nature, from somewhere there was a lack of drugs, somewhere there was a lack of some kind of vaccine, somewhere it was necessary to help with logistics, that is, the requests were absolutely different calibers, and from that on the one hand. it was more difficult for us, she tried to do it around the clock, on the other hand , it was very discouraging, because when you run in different directions at the same time, it’s not for you either helps to orientate, but i think that this is what most people did at this moment in order to help as many people as possible, but it is good that this period then passed into more organized processes and where we can be more efficient, organize our work more systematically, i know... that my next question will be so -so for you, because you don't really like

to talk about it, because you love your country very much, and you understand how much you are needed here, but nevertheless, your help to your country is not decreased, but only increased, and this is a new experience that you got, because you now live with your daughter abroad, and there are many women like you, public figures, who were quite active in our... country , when they are there abroad, they suffer incredibly and talk about the fact that they do not have the opportunity to fully realize themselves, how do you feel about this, what do you feel and tell about this experience of yours? it's really a difficult topic for me, because i always felt and still feel very connected to my native country, but i'm very grateful every time we were taught to work remotely, almost the entire team changed our place of residence, but this does not interfere. my mother calls us every week, every day i work with colleagues, wherever they

are, so the processes remain as active when necessary, i go home and try to do it as often as possible, and my, let's say, additional strength and advantages from my stay abroad, i build in such a way that i just learned the language, for example, at a level so that i can understand the local population, build social contacts and a bubble that helps to send aid, that is, this year , a charity fund was opened, which we are engaged in, in order to send humanitarian aid to centers for helping refugees. we have several partners in ukraine, accordingly, i believe that this is such an additional mechanism of assistance. where we can be useful, where we can be helpful, and this is building international partnerships, attracting donors, this is advocacy, so that there are no questions, and you still have a war going on when i hear these questions, i understand that we still need to say a lot so that other political processes in the arena do not interrupt the voice of ukrainians, and for us this is an important topic of advocacy that our

children, our doctors and hospitals continue to work under sirens, under terrible challenges and under threat. .. life every day, and it is important to me that this voice sounds truthfully, as well as possible in the european arena, i try to do it as i can, attracting partnership and help, and we will need this help for the recovery as well, when the war is over we will need this help for a long time, so i believe that it is mine, you can say, maybe it was not always my choice to live where it is, but i am trying to change it, let's say transform it into a positive direction and use it. him in this way, well , if we are talking specifically about aid and difficulties, if they have to explain to europeans that the war is still going on in our country, this aid, it has somehow possibly decreased, we need to tell them more, we need to speak louder to do more often, compared to when it was in the beginning

2022, of course, the controversy has changed a lot and it has changed, as expected, in principle, dramatically. it changed somewhere around this first emotional period, when everyone helped with all questions, there was practically no control or there was no such, let's say , such strong verifications, then a process of strong selective help was chosen, where it goes, was already monitored , so that it is systematic, so that it is transparent. i believe that, in principle, it is very correct that it should be controlled, but on the other hand, i want that on important question... especially on the topic of newborn children there was more support, because some processes are still not closed now, it seems to me that now every life of a newborn child is extremely important, i am not saying that it was not important before, but now considering the fact that the birth rate fell by more than 30%, that there are many very negative consequences for the health of newborn children of each family, i believe

that this needs more publicity and support, when i go to international forms and see that there is a block about. .. war, and there is none fresh statistics, or there is no impact of the war on the health of newborn children in the perspective of some there, if we are talking about the future, about the cut, then i would like it to be there, and we understood what generation we will receive after 5-10-20 years, it is important to think about it today. sasha, well, you are talking about the fact that the birth rate actually fell by 30%, and if we talk about premature babies , due to the fact that there is a war in our country, have there been an increase in the number of babies born ... in a hurry, aren't you? you can say that compared to 2015-16 , everything is as it was. it is difficult for me to rely on some statistics, because they must be official, so that i do not name any incorrect data, from various sources, i know that statistics do increase premature births, but somehow

the ministry of health does not name specific numbers, so it is difficult for me to it is based on conversations i know from the medical category. well, let's say that when i talk to the doctors, i hear that the condition of pregnant women has worsened, they get checked up late, sometimes they are in very bad conditions, it is not always possible to get logistically just to the hospitals, because, for example, the roads are broken, or it was some kind of, for example, occupied territory, and the pregnant woman cannot receive this help in time, the child does not receive screenings in time , for example, during or during pregnancy, or already after the child was born, respectively, any such delay precisely from... it is very important and it will later affect the quality of life as a whole, therefore also the psychological state of the pregnant woman, about it's not either it is worth forgetting, well, the psychological state is beneficial, i would say that even childbirth, when there was no war, is premature, it is very stressful, just recalling my experience, or my colleagues who found themselves in various stories, where children also received some

difficulties after apologetics , but now during a full-scale invasion, where there are sirens and, for example, no time. partner, if the partner had to go, the husband had to go to fight and cannot be at the partner birth, or god forbid, there are, unfortunately, such situations when the news comes and this woman is pregnant, and on unfortunately, the information comes that there is no longer a partner near her, these cases are extremely difficult to manage such a pregnancy, and there are many such cases, i.e. requests for psychological support and for financial, for example, help, because this, let's say, has a strong impact the stress of these we have had an extremely large number of requests, is there any psychological help in your organization, when women who live in ukraine, yes, maybe in the de-occupied... territories, maybe somewhere in the front-line territories, who call and want advice, so that they told them what to do, where to go, and what

words do you actually find, because it is probably very important, and it is very difficult now in such conditions, i would say that the international community helped us a lot, because i would divide our women here , who went abroad and gave birth prematurely abroad, because it is such an additional one. a huge layer of problems, because in addition to the fact that a woman gives birth abroad without support, without understanding the language very often, without understanding the system, where to turn, what with such a newborn to do as a child in any country in the world, for example, there or in switzerland, whether it is poland or spain, very often they turned to us from other countries in order to receive information in their native language, and that is why we are very grateful to our international community, which acted as partners in this in order to transmit the operative. on this information, or distribute booklets, this informational and psychological assistance also worked in ukraine and works in the same way, the only thing is that it is often not calls, but it is still

messengers, which are more convenient, also because of the fact that, firstly, it is not always possible for such mothers to speak in a voice during the day, they are quite busy in hospitals with various procedures, and it is a traumatic experience when it is difficult for mothers to speak their emotions , because they are usually in a state of stress and... you need to talk about your specific situation, that she just gave birth to a child prematurely, then there is such a thing as the trauma of a sense of guilt that she did not carry the child to term, that the child has difficulties, and our psychologist yulia works with this feeling of guilt oleksandriv, we manage the psychological service, we have our partner organizations that work with us, and when we are not coping, we send to more professional help, and when we need help with crisis communications. we also know where to turn, so i am very grateful to the colleagues and partners who will provide consultations with this pool, and i will not name all of them now, so as not to forget anyone, but in fact, this

pool of partners helps us cope with difficult situations when they arise, so for us, information is psychological aid is the basis of the foundations, because this is the layer where most problems can be solved at this level, sasha, well, actually speaking about the impact of the war on families with... prematurely born children, you and i have already talked before the broadcast, and you told me such stories, what these families faced, what the main problems were, and we are talking now not only about medicine, because these families, there, a mother and a child return home, and they also have certain problems there, they you have to solve them somehow during the war, you can tell about it what do you advise in such a situation? in fact, we... can advise to be proactive, learn about your rights, and that is why this year is very important for us, we are releasing a lot of information products, because very often

parents simply do not know about their rights, for example, we recently conducted a survey, do parents know about guaranteed and non-guaranteed services in the health care system, and we were a little shocked that 80% of parents do not know about their rights, that is, they marked, for example, with a category from one to five, as much information as you have. about services guaranteed by the state, then 80% marked one, that is, they do not know, or, for example, only 10% knew what to do in the event that rights are violated, what should be done in such a case, and when we say, it is called our project guaranteed with our partners, patients of ukraine, and when we talk about what is important to do in this or that situation, it is important for us that parents still know where to turn, and be proactive, have this clear position that it is from me depends what will happen to me next? to develop mine, for example, there is a medical history, where do i get this service, who can i turn to, don't be afraid to ask, that's why it's important, look, this topic, it's actually very

important, and that's why you can say, what exactly are you talking about , so that women and men, families, in general, who will hear us now, they can understand what rights they really have, what you are talking about, when we conduct trainings, we even start with such a question, do you know what the nszu is , and we very often have such answers that we do not know what is nszu? and since 2016 , medical reform has been ongoing in ukraine and there are 44 packages of medical guarantees, these packages, one might say, are classified according to various diseases, according to various problems, now i am not talking only about prematurely born children or only about pregnant women, or about the topic rehabilitation of children, these are generally all problems, including strokes, which also affect many families in ukraine, and cancer, and even now four packages have been added about, for example, artificial insemination about... for example, or organ transplantation, that is, any a disease that can fall into any of these packages, and it is necessary to at least understand these packages, whether there is a disease or a problem

that concerns this or that... patient, whether it is in the list of those packages, before run to a private clinic and decide for yourself that you need to solve this issue quickly, understand your rights, and we teach this at trainings, we conduct consultations on this, we explain in detail how to do this, if the service was to be provided by the state body, a state clinic, for example there, or, i don't know, a women's clinic consultation or prenatal center, and was provided for a fee, how to compensate for these costs. there are also such cases, that is, it is our standard practice, how we advise and help, because we now manage to convey the main point, if families know that the services are covered, that the pregnant woman can count on the fact that they are guaranteed by the state, this is from analyzes, management complicated pregnancy, this includes childbirth and child care after discharge, then there is no such stress and level of worries that you have to pay for it all out of your own pocket,

let's imagine a situation where... the family had to leave the de-occupied territory, has to rent a house, for example, the husband went to the front and there is no stable income, the mother has a prematurely born child with a million questions, because this is a normal situation, there are many questions, and that's why we guarantee, guaranteed services, we tell, so that at least there is this support, to reduce the worries and stress for this family, and therefore it seems to us that the informational front of our work, of our organization, is now important, and we are trying to keep it. it is also work with peer-to-peer groups, when families who have already gone through a difficult stage of coming out can share their experience of coming out with other families who are going through this experience now. for example, we had a survey, we asked 90 families about those cases when families had to swaddle, that is, hold a baby weighing less than 2.5 kg skin-to-skin on the chest without

separating the mothers or... if the mother could not swaddle with physiological reasons with the child, to what extent this process took place in different regions of ukraine during the full-scale invasion more than 90 families shared their stories with us, some of them very touching about these first bondings that happened for each family, how touching, important, and for some painful stories, where they did not have the opportunity to touch the child, where they did not tell about this method, how important and useful it is, especially. now, during the absence , there is stable electricity, so for us such information products, projects and the opportunity to unite families, make groups equal, they are now available to us tools that, in our opinion, can fulfill, well, our dream that children are born healthier, give them the best start in life. well, if we are already returning to the families in which a sacramental child was born,

which is in this package from the national health service. there is something for them that they need to know this free on a free basis, and when they are discharged, i understand, when they are in the hospital, that's one thing, but when the mother has already returned home, she has to, again, like us they said to be one-on-one with the child, what she should know about, well, what about me said, there are 44 packages, several of these packages that concern our families, they concern, for example, pregnancy management, these are the same. childbirth, including caesarean section or natural childbirth, it is even at the stage of the birth of a child in a transfer center or in a maternity hospital, for example, we even have banks of breast milk, then even lactation consultation, they are also included there, that’s all really and psychological support within the hospital, they are also included there, now in fact families are not obliged to buy medicines according to the lists, yes as it was several years ago literally because

it was such a widespread practice. now most of the issues, most of the issues, not all of the issues, of course if it's an improved ward there, or some special services, of course the family pays for it themselves, but basically all the issues, they should be covered by the medical guarantee packages, and in that case, for example, when a family is discharged and rehabilitation centers or catamnistic offices work, it is in order for us to provide a review, one might say, of the child's condition already after discharge stage of three, six, 12 months, and observed. how it develops, that is , the child comes to the center, they examine it, are there any deviations from development, if specialized help from a narrow specialist is needed, then everything is received by electronic code, that is, in order to receive these services for free, it is important to receive this code, and then there is a referral, for example, a pediatrician, or if it is, for example, from a perinatal center, then accordingly such a service should be provided free of charge, it is important for us that parents knew and accordingly the family.
