Ukraine

In Ukraine

Since the very first days of the war, we have been present in Ukraine — and we have never stopped. Every single day, we provide real, life-saving medical assistance to those in need. We support hospitals, protect the health of mothers and newborns, and ensure access to doctors and medicines in places where no one else can reach.

• We currently support 10 neonatal hospitals and run an ongoing program to strengthen healthcare in the fields of neonatology and obstetrics. We supply essential medical equipment, train healthcare personnel, and help rebuild a healthcare system that continues to face the devastating consequences of war.
• Our two mobile clinics, fully equipped with medical supplies and medicines, reach patients in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions. In addition, a mobile laboratory remains available to both medical teams and patients, providing immediate diagnostics and assistance whenever it’s needed.
  This is real, everyday help — here and now.

The war in Ukraine is not over. Every day, children are being born in hospitals that need safety and care. Right now, our mobile clinics continue to reach patients in high-risk areas. Every day, we save lives and protect health.

What we have accomplished so far

• Child-Friendly Spaces – safe environments offering integrated specialist services, including psychological support, legal aid, and translation services. These spaces also hosted summer activities and various programs for children and adults. The initiative was funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway through EEA and Norway Grants and was continued in 2023 with support from Shell.
• At three border crossings on the Ukrainian side, a team of doctors and nurses provided medical assistance. Paramedics with ambulances transported critically ill patients to hospitals in Poland. These medical stations operated in medical containers in collaboration with the International Medical Corps.
• We delivered 15,000 doses of tetanus and diphtheria vaccines to Ukrainian hospitals, supported by EIT Health.
• We donated five fully equipped ambulances.
• We organized over 120 medical aid transports, which included: bandages, antibiotics, painkillers, needles, syringes, IV cannulas, WHO emergency kits, medical furniture and surgical instruments, first aid kits, defibrillators, and tactical tourniquets.
• We delivered medical aid to 50 Ukrainian hospitals, tailoring shipments based on each facility’s specific needs. These shipments primarily contained bandages, medications, and therapeutic food for newborns. The initiative was funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway through EEA and Norway Grants.
• In Kobyłka, near Warsaw, we collaborated with Terre des Hommes Italia to improve the mental health of refugee children.
• As part of the Iron Help initiative, over 350 participants from Ukraine and Poland received prosthetic limbs and extensive rehabilitation programs.
