A MEDEVAC story: Kyiv-Lviv-Rzeszów-Nuremberg
WHO health partners have evacuated eight children from Ukraine to Germany where they can now continue their life-saving treatment outside Ukraine. WHO/Europe has been working with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, the European Commission and other key health actors on a long-running Medevac programme. So far, over 4000 patients have been evacuated for specialised support, including trauma response, oncological treatment and prosthetic care. WHO/Europe and WHO Ukraine stand in solidarity with the health workers, patients and civilians impacted by over 2 years of full-scale war.
