New Treatment for Veterans with Brain Injuries and PTSD

This bill introduces a pilot program to provide veterans suffering from traumatic brain injury or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with access to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The program will operate in three selected regions and will be funded solely by donations, meaning its availability will depend on public support. This has the potential to improve veterans' quality of life by offering them a new treatment method.
Key points
Veterans with traumatic brain injury or PTSD may gain access to new hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
The pilot program will run for five years in three selected regions of the country.
Funding for the therapy will come exclusively from donations, not from the state budget.
