Extending a Healing Hand: Supporting the Ministry of Health’s Humanitarian Aid Initiative for Doctors
The Ukrainian Federation of Professional Medical Associations is in full support of the partnership between the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine, and the International Charity Fund «Health of the Ukrainian People». This initiative aims to provide humanitarian aid in the form of medicines, medical equipment, and products for medical purposes. The goal is to maintain the continuous operation of healthcare facilities and provide proper medical care, even during martial law.
We urge doctors to gather information about the list and scope of the needs of healthcare facilities through the free resource http://houp.org/. We also request that the Ministry of Health and other central executive authorities ensure doctors have unhindered access to healthcare facilities. This is necessary to receive targeted transfer of medicines, medical equipment, and medical products.
Appeal of the UFPMO
Dear Colleagues,
The full-scale military invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine has disrupted the economic balance and requires maximum preparedness from the medical community to provide aid to the wounded. This includes both defenders of our state and civilians who are facing extremely difficult conditions of hostilities on our territory. The Ukrainian Federation of Professional Medical Associations (UFPMO) fully supports the partnership initiative of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine, and the International Charitable Fund «Health of the Ukrainian People» to organize humanitarian aid in the form of medicines, medical equipment, and devices.
This aid is necessary to ensure the uninterrupted operation of healthcare facilities and provide proper medical care in the conditions of martial law. The management of UFPMO, along with the specialized medical associations that are members of UFPMO, appeals to doctors to collect information about the list and scope of needs of healthcare institutions using the free resource http:/houp.org/. We also call on the leadership of the Ministry of Health and other central executive bodies to ensure unhindered access for doctors to healthcare institutions to obtain and transfer medicines, medical equipment, and products.
Let us work together in active cooperation to ensure that we win this fight against the invasion. Together, we will emerge victorious.
Sincerely,
President of the General Assembly of UFPMO
