Vinnytsya,
Ukraine
My name is Oksana Viltsaniuk, and I am a physician and associate professor from Ukraine specializing in respiratory medicine and internal medicine. I work at National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, where I am involved in clinical practice, medical education, and scientific research focused on chronic respiratory diseases, asthma, COPD, and pulmonary infections.
Over the years, I have actively participated in educational initiatives, international collaborations, and respiratory health advocacy projects. I strongly believe that patient education, early diagnosis, and access to modern respiratory care can significantly improve quality of life for people living with chronic lung diseases.
As a COPD Foundation Captain, I hope to strengthen international cooperation, raise awareness about respiratory diseases in Ukraine, and support both patients and healthcare professionals through education and advocacy activities. I am especially interested in projects related to early detection, prevention, and improving respiratory care during challenging humanitarian conditions.
One of my proudest professional moments has been helping develop respiratory education initiatives for medical students and young physicians, as well as representing Ukrainian respiratory professionals in international collaborations.
