The Department of Medical Rehabilitation and Medical and Social Expertise was created on the initiative of the rector of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University academician NAMN Moroz V.M. and Professor Kolesnik P.F. by order of the rector of 23.08.2013. Substantiation of necessity of creation of the Department of Medical Rehabilitation and Medical and Social Expertise of Vinnytsia National Medical University Pirogov Memorial was submitted to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. It is known that 90% of patients need medical rehabilitation (only 10% of patients have urgent emergency care), but the issues of creation and functioning of a full-fledged medical rehabilitation system have fallen out of view of medicine over the last 20 years, partly in the programs of social, labor and vocational rehabilitation of persons with disabilities in the context of providing them with medical supplies. At the same time, the main focus of medical rehabilitation is to restore the health of patients and is an important next step after emergency care and intensive inpatient care. The issues of medical rehabilitation, as well as social and vocational rehabilitation, are handled by the United Nations and its specialized units (WHO, ILO, UNESCO and 50 other international bio-biological organizations). The WHO Medical Rehabilitation Committee of Experts is in operation to continuously improve its purpose and objectives. International forums are held periodically on these issues.
Rehabilitation plays a leading role in the achievement of the WHO Health for All in the 21st Century strategy. Annually, more than 500 million people with disabilities and patients are needed in the rehabilitation world. The concept of the State Target Program “Medical Rehabilitation” for 2011-2015 has been developed in Ukraine which envisages:
1) substantial reform of the system of medical rehabilitation;
2) creation of a coordination council for medical rehabilitation;
3) creation of a department of medical rehabilitation in the structure of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine;
4) creation of a number of regional centers for medical rehabilitation;
