'War in the operating room': Ukrainian eye surgeons to learn at University of Calgary

It's why Dr. Olga Denysiuk is coming to Canada from the Ukraine war zone to learn more about saving and rebuilding smashed and damaged eyes.

Denysiuk, 36, is an eye surgeon, working to save the lives of soldiers and civilians in Ukraine after it was invaded more than two years ago by Russia.“The trauma is sometimes excruciating,” she said. The fellowship program is to give Canadian doctors a window into what Ukraine needs to save lives, and in return give their Ukrainian counterparts tools and training to do more back home.

“Hopefully, bring that to Ukraine and start changing our system to have it like a fellowship, and residency and specialties.”"They do an amazing job. But ... we do get very complicated reconstructions," Denysiuk said."The surgical training is far more impactful by joining my students and their learners in Ukraine,” he said.
