Outpatient Healthcare in Kharkiv Oblast and Medical Evacuations from Frontline Areas
Situation:
Medical care in the Kupiansk area (Kharkiv Oblast) has largely collapsed. Clinics and pharmacies are closed, and hospitals are barely accessible. Older people, people with disabilities and those requiring care depend on mobile medical services.
Meanwhile, around 290,000 people in frontline areas of Kharkiv, Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts need evacuation. Specialised vehicles and medically trained evacuation teams are lacking, particularly for people with limited mobility and those requiring care.
Objectives:
The project's main objective is to ensure access to essential healthcare in the Kupiansk area while enabling the medical evacuation of vulnerable populations from frontline areas of Kharkiv, Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts through specialised teams and appropriate transport vehicles.
3,000 people receive primary healthcare, including medication, ECG, ultrasound and referrals to specialist clinics as needed. An additional 150 vulnerable people are medically evacuated and provided with accommodation tailored to their needs.
A mobile clinic provides primary healthcare, ECG, ultrasound, medication and referrals to specialist clinics in the Kupiansk area. In frontline areas of Kharkiv, Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts, specialised teams medically evacuate vulnerable people and arrange accommodation suited to their needs.
The project addresses healthcare gaps in a region where medical infrastructure has largely collapsed. The mobile clinic provides primary healthcare and referrals to specialist facilities. Medical evacuations enable vulnerable people to access safe accommodation and continued care, improving their prospects for longer-term health and well-being.
