At the hospital, Mrs. Yushchenko and Mr. Kniazevych met with Casey Seguin, Vice President for International Affairs.

Mrs. Kateryna and the Foundation members met with the hospital management and familiarized themselves with the work of the SickKids charitable foundation supporting the hospital’s operation. They also took a tour of the hospital, visiting, in part, the Hematology, Oncology, Genetics, and Cardio Surgery units.
