This week, an additional 13 ambulances have been dispatched to doctors and military personnel across various regions of Ukraine. These vehicles were purchased by Medical Procurement of Ukraine with donor funds raised under the UNITED24 initiative, spearheaded by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, upon the request of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
The ambulances have been sent to military medical clinical centers in the Central, Western, Southern, and Northern regions, the main military clinical hospital, the children's hospital "Okhmatdyt," and emergency medical centers in the Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Odessa, Sumy, and Kherson regions.
These ambulances are equipped with all necessary medical equipment for evacuation and lifesaving operations, including ventilators, capnographs, defibrillators, blood pressure monitors, electrocardiographs, portable pulse oximeters, glucometers, nebulizers, obstetric kits, and resuscitation bags.
"Thirteen 'mobile ICUs' (type C), worth over 36 million UAH and procured thanks to UNITED24, will help our medical and military personnel save even more lives. UNITED24 is a platform that unites all those who support our country in these difficult times of war. This support translates into tangible items that help us sustain the medical system and provide necessary care under any conditions. Every donation is extremely important, and I am sincerely grateful to everyone who stands with us for the victory of the values of the entire civilized world," said Ukrainian Health Minister Viktor Liashko.
"Our main goal is to protect the health of Ukrainians. Therefore, we continue to equip healthcare facilities with specialized transport to ensure they can promptly provide necessary medical assistance. Due to the full-scale war initiated by Russia, hospitals constantly need to renew their vehicle fleets with new ambulances. This time, we have delivered 13 ambulances to various parts of Ukraine," added Edem Adamanov, the general director of Medical Procurement of Ukraine.
Overall, under the UNITED24 initiative, and based on decisions by the Ministry of Health commission, Medical Procurement of Ukraine has purchased and delivered 218 ambulances to hospitals.
