Now in its third year, the war in Ukraine has left thousands dead or injured and millions displaced. Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure and the healthcare system as well as deteriorating economic conditions have compounded Ukrainians’ suffering.
Despite the danger, International Medical Corps is on the ground in Ukraine and the surrounding region, helping Ukrainians both inside and outside the country, including internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees.
With a history of working in Ukraine since 1999, we are working directly and in partnership with local organizations to increase access to medical supplies and services, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), clean water and sanitation, and protection services for those displaced, as well as for those living in areas directly affected by war.
Working with the Ukraine Ministry of Health (MoH), we are providing a wide variety of training to health staff and first responders, including providing critical training in emergency and trauma care, infection prevention and control (IPC), and psychological first aid, and promoting proper hygiene among community members.
To ensure the continuity and accessibility of healthcare in Ukraine, we provide various types of support to local health facilities and populations. We rehabilitate damaged health facilities; procure and deliver equipment, medicine and supplies; provide water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and heating systems; and improve bunkers and harden health facilities to protect staff and patients. Where facilities have been destroyed or extensively damaged, we provide mobile medical services to local populations until the facilities are restored.

*Note for recurring donations: Once we have determined that the community can continue to respond to the after-effects of this emergency without us, we will scale back our response efforts. At that time, we will redirect your future donations to where it is needed most to help us respond to future outbreaks of conflict, disease or disaster.
