The Second Episode of the Podcast Series “The Heart Beats” About Heart Transplantation in Ukraine is Now Live — a Joint Project by Darnytsia and the Heart Institute

Darnytsia Pharmaceutical Company, together with the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, has released the second episode of the educational podcast “The Heart Beats”.

The new episode is dedicated to the topic of heart transplantation in Ukraine — an important and at the same time challenging field of modern medicine.

The podcast guest is cardiac surgeon and transplantologist Sofiia Chaikovska. She shared both professional and personal stories about the development of transplantology, spoke about the unique features and challenges of performing such operations, life-changing experiences of patients, and how the medical team overcomes obstacles — from donor search to rehabilitation after surgery.

In the second podcast, you will learn how heart transplantation in Ukraine has gone from an unattainable dream to a real opportunity for many in just a few years. The episode discusses the work of doctors in wartime, modern approaches to heart surgery, stories of people who received a second chance at life, and the future prospects of transplantation in our country.

The educational podcast “The Heart Beats” was created to make knowledge about heart health accessible and understandable to every Ukrainian.

Darnytsia has for many years been expanding its range of cardiovascular medicines, investing in modern pharmaceutical production, and, together with leading doctors from Ukraine and the world, carrying out educational projects for patients and the medical community.
