I.Y. Gorbachevsky State Medical University of Ternopil
Department of Normal Physiology
In May 2011, we signed an agreement with Professor Stepan Nestorovich Vadzyuk, head of the Department of Normal Physiology at the I.Y. Gorbachevsky Ternopil State Medical University. His department has previously killed 1,150 frogs, 150 mice, and 300 rats annually for physiological experiments. The agreement determines that all such animal experiments will cease on 1st September 2011. We provided the department with four surgical models and several DVDs and CDs.
Control visit
The control visit took place in October 2011. The donated animal-free teaching materials are in use and everything is proceeding to our complete satisfaction.
The department uses various self-experiments in its physiology courses.
