MEDECINS SANS FRONTIERES(MSF)
MSF staff in Ukraine are delivering urgent medical supplies, training health workers on managing mass casualty incidents, running mobile clinics, and organizing medical evacuations of hospitalized patients from the east to the west of the country. An MSF team has started providing basic health care, including mental health care, to people in the town of Hostomel, near Bucha and Kyiv, after it was occupied by Russian forces for 35 days.
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION(WHO)
WHO appreciates offers of contributions of supply support in solidarity with the affected population of the current conflict in Ukraine. Please note that supply into and within Ukraine is seriously constrained by continuously shifting conflict zones, damage to infrastructure and potential shortages of power and fuel. The WHO priority is to supply critically needed items in a manner that is safe, secure, and responsive to the environment in which we are operating in. Access constraints require that logistics planning and capacity are paramount if supplies are to move smoothly to destinations where they are needed.
EIT HEALTH
Over five million Ukrainians fleeing this war have already sought refuge in neighbouring European countries, and many more continue to make the journey. The conflict has also caused a health crisis in Ukraine, and there is a desperate need for medical equipment including first aid kits, surgical apparatus, and other crucial medical supplies. There is also a growing need for a vaccination programme against tetanus. Tetanus infections are spreading among injured soldiers and wounded civilians. Good wound care and prompt treatment reduce the risk of developing a severe infection that can cause death.
