The Khmelnytskyi Regional Center for Disease Control and Prevention has opened a Knowledge Centre for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Khmelnytskyi. This modern expert space was created as part of the Ukrainian-Swiss project «Act for Health».

The Knowledge Centre serves as a hub for expertise, quality communication, and cross-sectoral interaction. Its goal is to make health topics accessible, practical and interesting. After all, knowledge that can be applied in practice provides a solid basis for developing healthy habits.

«The centre is equipped with all the necessary materials and technology for conducting online and offline training events.

We encourage regional specialists working in NCD prevention and control, or related fields, to participate in future events, and to organise their own events at the Centre,» says Kateryna Rymarenko, policy coordinator for the Ukrainian-Swiss project «Act for Health».

The Centre employs specialists in non-communicable diseases who can help you organise events, provide advice and share methodological materials. If necessary, they can also participate as experts and speakers.
