On October 14, 2026, Deutsche Augenklinik (German Eye Clinic) in Kyiv hosted a meeting between Professor Oksana Vitovska, Medical Director of the clinic and President of the Ukrainian Alliance of Ophthalmologists, and Dr. Hiroya Goto, Medical Attaché at the Embassy of Japan in Ukraine.
The discussion focused on current issues in the provision of ophthalmic care in Ukraine, particularly amid the ongoing full-scale war, as well as potential areas of Ukrainian–Japanese cooperation in medical education, scientific research, and professional exchange.

The meeting took place in an atmosphere of open and constructive dialogue, highlighting the value of professional contacts and knowledge exchange between Ukrainian and Japanese specialists.
