Ukraine

The ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine has caused massive destruction of medical infrastructure and led to a health crisis that particularly affects women, children, the elderly, and displaced persons. From the very first day of the war, we have been supporting the Ukrainian healthcare system by providing medical equipment, training personnel, and delivering aid to the most hard-to-reach areas.

How are we helping Ukraine?

In Ukraine

We support 10 neonatal hospitals and run a project aimed at strengthening neonatal and obstetric care.
We operate three mobile clinics equipped with essential medical supplies and medications. These clinics provide care in Kharkiv, Sumy, and Kyiv regions, including a gynecological-pediatric unit. Additionally, a mobile laboratory is available for medical staff and patients.

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.

What’s the situation?

The armed conflict in Ukraine has been ongoing for over three years, and its consequences remain devastating. In 2023, homes, schools, and hospitals were bombed daily, and 2024 brought no improvement. The number of civilian casualties in 2024 was even higher than in 2023. Attacks on civilian infrastructure further hinder aid efforts—since February 24, 2022, the WHO has confirmed over 2 200 attacks on healthcare facilities. At the beginning of 2025, the situation remains extremely dire.

Since February 2022, the WHO has confirmed more than 1 500 attacks on medical facilities. Nearly 50 maternity wards have been destroyed, overwhelming the remaining facilities and leading to an increase in preterm births and pregnancy complications. There is a shortage of neonatologists, forcing pediatricians to take on their responsibilities. Maternity and neonatal wards, including NICUs, are further burdened by caring for displaced persons, and the number of preterm births and pregnancy complications has risen due to limited access to prenatal care. The urgent delivery of specialized medical equipment to save newborns’ lives is crucial.

The most vulnerable are those who struggle to leave areas threatened by shelling or near the front lines. Nearly 25% of Ukraine’s population is over 60 years old. Other at-risk groups, such as people with disabilities and pregnant women, also face mobility challenges. Humanitarian and medical aid should prioritize these most vulnerable individuals. A massive number of people in Ukraine are currently struggling with mental health issues caused by war-related trauma. According to the WHO, nearly 10 million people are affected. This crisis also extends to those who have fled the conflict beyond Ukraine’s borders.

Mobile Clinics

Two mobile clinics operate in the Kharkiv, Sumy and Kyiv Oblasts, providing assistance to residents of one of the regions most affected by the war. Each team consists of two doctors and two nurses, additionally supported by a pharmacist. Regular visits to selected locations will enable the distribution of medications and monitoring disease outbreaks that may occur in the region.

Protect the Future! Strengthening Neonatal and Obstetric Healthcare in Ukraine.

The project aims to support neonatal and obstetric units in Ukraine by equipping neonatal intensive care units in 28 hospitals with life-saving medical equipment. Medical staff will participate in training on neonatal intensive care, post-resuscitation care, sepsis, jaundice, and sensory impairments, with trainers providing the latest international and national treatment guidelines. Additionally, hospitals will receive life-saving equipment, renovations will be made where needed, and online training materials will be created to ensure equal access to neonatal knowledge for all medical staff in Ukraine, alongside an educational campaign for pregnant women and mothers.
