The mission of Dobrobut is regaining the credibility of Ukrainian medicine. Credibility of the medicine starts from an educated doctor. Therefore, we make sure that our doctors have the most up-to-date knowledge, they are aware of the latest research and possess the best methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention. We have created Dobrobut Academy to improve the level of knowledge and qualifications of doctors.
