At Doctors of the World, we receive reports of the growing number of urgent operations. There are thousands of people in acute conditions who are experiencing difficulties in accessing health care services due to the lack of funds, issues with transportation, and shortage of fuel. We have been actively providing support and relief to Ukrainian healthcare systems that are on the frontline of this violent conflict. 

Around Kyiv Oblast, in de-occupied settlements, the number of patients requiring care has far exceeded predictions, and rapidly requires material and preparation. DoTW has been providing aid since the start of the conflict and the donations we delivered to health care facilities in Chernihiv Oblast in March and April have effectively supported the healthcare system where heavy fighting in the area have resulted in many casualties. 

Meanwhile, in Dnipro, our team is committed to covering the needs of healthcare facilities. In the past weeks, 4 health facilities have received donations of medications and materials, allowing them to expand the capacity to provide medical aid to the most vulnerable groups that remain trapped in the conflict. 

In YaMariupol hub in Dnipro, DoTW has been working exclusively with citizens that have fled Mariupol. We provided necessary medical equipment to allow a family doctor to provide treatment to those in need.
