Collaboration in Time of Need
September 2025
The 3rd annual International Healthcare Summit, organized by August Mission as part of the UA-MED coalition, is a preeminent event for healthcare professionals, researchers, medical companies and experts from the international community. This year, we will have specific medical delegations in three areas: Orthopedics and trauma, Rehabilitation & therapy, Mental health. Our planned format for the Summit will be large group sessions in the mornings. The afternoons will be reserved for each of the delegations meeting in smaller venues with local healthcare leaders (heads of hospitals and clinics) to foster collaboration and training, and share innovative practices to address Ukraine’s pressing healthcare needs.
Attendees will learn about cutting-edge technologies, the latest treatments, and best practices that Ukrainian doctors implement nowadays, gathering the best experience from doctors and hospitals all over the world. Experts in the field will share their experience and insights on current and future healthcare needs in Ukraine and will feature rehabilitation projects as well as working rehabilitation centers. The International Healthcare Summit will also bring together the top officials from Ukraine, including representatives of the Cabinet of Ministers, heads of regional administrations, and international organizations.
Join us for three days of global collaboration. The International Healthcare Summit is a unique opportunity to engage in cross-border dialogue and learning. Don’t miss this chance to be a part of this premier event.
Our mission is to enjoin international medical experts and industry thought leaders to improve patient outcomes and the quality of life for those afflicted by crisis.
With the International Healthcare Summit, we aim to create a platform that brings together healthcare professionals, industry experts and researchers from around the world to drive assistance and advancements in medical science and patient care.
Through this Summit, we strive to foster international collaboration, breaking down barriers and promoting the exchange of ideas among experts from various countries. By exploring emerging trends in medical technology, patient care and lessons learned, we seek to identify opportunities for innovation and improvement that can transform the future of healthcare.
Addressing global health issues in challenging localities is at the heart of our mission. We provide a platform for constructive dialogue, enabling healthcare professionals to deliberate on pressing issues such as war, pandemics, healthcare accessibility, staffing and recuperation. Our goal is to generate actionable insights and strategies that can effectively address these challenges and create a positive impact on the global healthcare landscape.
Keynote addresses by renowned experts, diverse medical sessions covering a broad range of topics, engaging panel discussions, and an industry exhibition, showcasing state of the art medical equipment are the highlights of our Summit. These elements come together to foster an environment for networking, collaboration, and the establishment of professional relationships across borders.
Workshop Overview
The International Healthcare Summit is designed to be a dynamically collaborative platform for medical professionals, policymakers, and industry leaders to address pressing healthcare challenges in Ukraine.
Each day will consist of plenary sessions that are followed by workshops in which delegates delve deeper into specific areas of need, dialogue openly and share knowledge and experience to identify challenges, explore innovative solutions, and develop actionable plans. We seek participants who will be active and committed to sharing and gaining knowledge, and to contributing towards tangible outcomes for three specific health care areas:
To be instrumental to healthcare in Ukraine, we envision delegates leaving the summit with a clear understanding of the most pressing issues, a network of collaborators, and an action plan for developing solution options within their respective organizations and after-action committees.
Workshop FAQs
The first day will be a plenary session to set the tone for the second day’s workshop topics. On the second day, delegates will break into three healthcare specific groups that will work for the whole day, and then regroup at the end of the day. Workshops will be in smaller groups for in-depth discussions and collaboration.
Workshops will be interactive breakout sessions to guide knowledge sharing and collaboration on challenging questions.
We encourage all attendees to actively participate: to share experiences, ask questions, and contribute to group discussions.
Workshops are expected to propose solutions to challenge questions. Outcomes may be in the form of guidelines and recommendations via whitepapers or policy briefs, commitments to execute on agreed-upon action items, and even specific projects. Follow-up meetings and communication channels will be established to support ongoing collaboration.
In-person collaboration is most effective. However, we will do our best to accommodate remote participation also.
The level of involvement will vary depending on the specific initiatives. However, we anticipate a zoom update in 3-4 months as well as ongoing engagement to ensure successful implementation of workshop outcomes.
