In memory of the Honorary President of the Public Organization "Association of Psychiatrists of Ukraine," Mr. Semen Fishelevych Gluzman.
2026-02-18
On February 16, the heart of the esteemed psychiatrist, Honorary President of the Association of Psychiatrists of Ukraine, Mr. Semen Fishelevych Gluzman, stopped beating.
From the very beginning of our public organization's establishment, Semen Fishelevych consistently contributed to its development. This included speaking to families of people with mental health conditions, participating in events organized by our organization, and engaging board members of the Psychohabilitation public organization in joint activities with the Association of Psychiatrists of Ukraine.
Today, we recall his incredible memories of 10 years of imprisonment for his stance that psychiatry cannot be punitive; it must help people. We recall his efforts in establishing the Center for Medical and Social Rehabilitation at the Communal Non-Profit Enterprise "Psychiatry Clinical Hospital," and creating a library that houses many psychiatric works translated with his assistance.
