Founded in 2014, Aide Médicale Charitative France-Ukraine (AMCFU) is a humanitarian organization dedicated to meeting the urgent needs of populations affected by the war in Ukraine. An apolitical, secular, and non-profit association, AMCFU is distinguished by its commitment to universal principles of humanity, impartiality, and neutrality. Our mission is simple but essential: to provide vital medical and humanitarian aid to affected civilians, in order to alleviate their suffering in this crisis situation.
Through regular humanitarian convoys, AMCFU provides medical equipment, medicines, and emergency-adapted vehicles. We work closely with local Ukrainian authorities to identify priority needs and ensure the efficient and transparent distribution of aid. Since 2014, our efforts have resulted in the modernization of hospitals, exchanges of skills between French and Ukrainian health professionals, and direct support to vulnerable populations, including sick children and orphans.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the Aide Médicale et Charitative France-Ukraine (AMCFU) has been tirelessly mobilized to provide assistance to the most vulnerable populations.
With a solid network of partners in France and Ukraine, the AMCFU implements concrete actions adapted to the needs on the ground, thus demonstrating unwavering solidarity. The convoys organized by the AMCFU are designed to meet the specific needs of the Ukrainian populations, whether they are displaced, refugees or living in the areas most affected by the fighting. We assist the Ukrainians with:
Since its creation, the France-Ukraine Medical and Charitable Aid Association has been committed to providing essential aid to those who need it most. The current context in Ukraine, marked by a precarious health situation exacerbated by conflicts and economic crises, makes this mission more crucial than ever. Medical infrastructures, often rudimentary and poorly equipped, cannot adequately meet the urgent needs of patients, particularly in rural and isolated regions.
To alleviate this situation, our medical transport project has set itself the mission of providing teams of doctors in remote areas with medical vehicles equipped with advanced resuscitation and monitoring equipment, guaranteeing quality care en route.
Starting on October 10, 2022, strikes targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have become systematic and massive, depriving millions of Ukrainians of any access to electricity. More than 50% of the country’s energy system has been damaged, so much so that the Ukrainian government has had to implement widespread power cuts, including in medical facilities and critical infrastructure. According to the World Health Organization, as of November 21, 2022, the Russian Federation has carried out more than 700 attacks on Ukrainian healthcare facilities.
As a result, the population is urged to conserve electricity and prepare for power outages. However, this solution is inconceivable for hospitals, maternity hospitals, and nursing homes, as the treatment, and often the survival, of many patients depends on access to electricity.
Children are often the first victims of war. According to UNICEF data, 972 Ukrainian children were killed in the first six months following the general Russian offensive, and five children die every day because of the conflict.
Added to this heavy toll are many traumas: exposure to violence, death in the family, separation from their parents, displacement to flee dangerous areas, school closures and incessant bombings. Since the beginning of the war, more than 5,000 children have become orphans, including 1,000 who have lost both parents.
Faced with this situation, the association Aide médicale et charbonniere France-Ukraine (AMC France-Ukraine) is committed to supporting child victims of war.
The war in Ukraine leaves deep scars, not only physical but also psychological. In this difficult context, the Association Médicale Charitative France-Ukraine (AMCFU) is committed to strengthening the skills of Ukrainian healthcare professionals through training programs and exchanges of know-how. Our goal is to provide Ukrainian caregivers with the tools they need to effectively care for the many victims of trauma, while promoting a sharing of expertise between French and Ukrainian professionals.
For several years, AMCFU has been implementing training initiatives that directly meet the needs of Ukrainian caregivers.
Since the beginning of the conflict, AMCFU has been working alongside the most vulnerable Ukrainian populations. Our team, made up of dedicated health professionals and volunteers, is doing everything possible to provide essential medical and humanitarian aid. Here are the main areas of its intervention:
AMCFU has shipped more than 2,000 tons of medical equipment and medicines to Ukrainian hospitals, including surgical, resuscitation and diagnostic equipment as well as essential consumables to provide basic and emergency care.
Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, several French regions, including Grand Est, Île-de-France, and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, have formalized structuring partnerships with Ukrainian communities. These partnerships have not only enabled the organization of emergency humanitarian actions, but also prepared the foundations for the reconstruction of Ukraine through targeted support for health systems and local infrastructure.
For example, the Île-de-France Region has mobilized more than €2 million since February 2022 to support the Ukrainian population, in particular by providing essential humanitarian aid and financing reconstruction projects. For its part, the Grand Est Region has established a partnership with the Kharkiv Oblast, focused on the delivery of humanitarian aid and political and technical support to help stabilize the region. Through our association, we promote a tripartite model, involving a French region, a Ukrainian region, and the France-Ukraine Medical and Charitable Aid Association.
