We’re on the ground providing direct medical care for the people of Ukraine right now. Please donate to support our work.

Ukraine has been our biggest emergency response to date, with more than 200 NHS and international medics sent to provide life-saving medical aid since 2022. Our country programme employs 50 humanitarians, mostly  Ukrainian staff, to maintain our life-saving medical work. We first arrived in Ukraine on 4 March 2022 and have been providing care on the ground ever since.

We are delivering a wide range of medical aid across the country, including:

Mobile health clinics which are getting primary health care and mental health support to people who have been uprooted by the conflict and have fled their homes. Clinics are like a “GP on wheels” and are staffed by a GP, nurse, social worker, and counsellor.

Medical training for first responders and civilians so that they are better prepared to cope with medical emergencies.

Surgical support to meet the huge demand for specialist surgery for injured people, particularly war wounds and limb and facial reconstruction. We have teams of surgeons who are working alongside Ukrainian medics in hospitals across eastern Ukraine.

Medical supplies and equipment including first aid kits, surgical equipment, and Emergency Health Kits (which are designed to treat 10,000 people in an emergency).

We were able to hit the ground running in Ukraine because of your support. If you are able to, please donate to our Ukraine Appeal today.

Help us provide lifesaving healthcare for people in Ukraine 

What your donation to our Emergency Response Fund can go towards

Doctors, nurses and other health staff

Your donation can ensure our health clinics provide direct care and support for vulnerable people.

We’re running health clinics where we have direct care available for the thousands of children, women and men – especially the elderly – who have found refuge here.

Because our Register of almost 1000 health professionals are so specialist and diverse, we can uniquely provide any type of support; from primary healthcare, to trauma surgery.

Health kits, medicines and PPE (personal protective equipment)

A Primary Health Care Kit (imagine a ‘walking Pharmacy’) has everything needed to provide care for 10,000 people over three months.

This is crucial as our medics care for people with a huge range of needs; asthmatic children without their inhalers, expectant and new mothers needing neonatal and maternal care, and people with burns, infections, cuts and other injuries from the conflict.

Training and support for local staff

We’re providing training and support for the national health staff across the country who have stayed to care for their people.

We’ve heard of the difficult cases staff here have dealt with in recent weeks and have been helping them prepare for challenging cases to come. We’re delivering a range of specialist training – from mass casualty, to CBRN (Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear) training.

In the unlikely event that we raise more money than we can efficiently spend on our humanitarian activities in Ukraine and neighbouring countries, all surplus donations will be directed to our Emergency Response Fund for responding to international disasters, crises and health emergencies.

In emergencies, circumstances can change unexpectedly making it impractical or impossible to carry out the purpose of the appeal.  In these circumstances, money raised will be directed to our Emergency Response Fund.
