The Russian war on Ukraine has so far resulted in the internal displacement of ¼ of Ukraine’s population of 44 million people, with several million more forced to flee as refugees outside of the country. There is not a part of Ukraine untouched by this war. Ukraine’s medical system is stressed to the breaking point. Evidence that Russian forces are deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure such as hospitals, clinics, and schools has already led 41 nations to refer Russia’s behavior to the International Criminal Court for the investigation of war crimes.

Our medical colleagues in Ukraine desperately need our help. Hospitals and clinics need basic supplies as well as medications to continue functioning.

We are two Rochester area child neurologists motivated to organize the delivery of needed medical supplies directly to physician colleagues in Ukraine in collaboration with the Ukrainian Ministry of Health.

WE NEED YOUR HELP – We are collecting monetary donations to support the purchase of medical supplies and non-controlled substance medications now for Ukrainian hospitals.
