Supporting health facilities and providing clinical care

One of the key components in the DotW mission in Ukraine is to support the state healthcare system. With the support of donations, we are able to provide healthcare centers with live-saving equipment, medical supplies, hygiene kits, insulin kits, rechargeable lithium batteries, consumables, medication and more. In the Children’s Hospital in Zaporizhzhia, DotW donated a neonatal incubator. In the 47 weeks that we have been present in Ukraine, DotW assisted 117 health facilities and collective centers,and supported 886,313 people through donations. These donations have been spread out through several regions including Chernivtsi, Dnipro, Vinnytsia, Kharkiv, Kyiv, and Zaporizka.

Alongside providing the necessary materials for healthcare facilities, DotW also works to deliver direct health-care services through our mobile units (MUs) in Chernivtsi, Kyiv, Dnipro, Odessa, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Chernihiv Oblasts. The MUs consist of a doctor, nurse, psychologist and, in certain regions, midwives. DotW midwives are also able to reach out to patients by providing online consultations (270 have been conducted so far). DotW has provided primary care in Odessa Oblast and is working to continue scaling it up.
