- No Comments on Humanitarian cooperation with the Lviv Regional Council – Summer 2023
The Lviv region hosts more than 1.5 million internally displaced persons and is a key center for the treatment of the injured, as well as for physical and psychological rehabilitation behind the front lines. Bordering Poland, it also plays an important role in the arrival of European aid. Our warehouse is also located there.
We support hospitals that are overwhelmed with the injured and internally displaced persons, as well as the medical training center located in the region.
Last May, the Lviv regional administration welcomed 35 French paramedics from the collective “Solidarité ambulancière France-Ukraine” (SAFU), which, in collaboration with AMCFU, organizes humanitarian ambulance convoys.
After delivering 18 new ambulances filled with medical supplies and equipment, the French team was received by the president of the Lviv region. They then had the opportunity to visit the call center of their Ukrainian colleagues and compare patient care organization in both countries. They also visited a hospital in Lviv and two new rehabilitation centers, Unbroken and Superhumans.
Our ongoing projects for this region:
– Provision of medical equipment and medications.
– Equipping a medical training center.
– Initiating inter-hospital and interprofessional exchanges and cooperation, with the involvement of French university hospitals (CHUs) and paramedics.
– Supporting rehabilitation centers with specialized vehicles, equipment, and knowledge exchange.
Newsflash:
– June 28, 2023 – Delivery of endoscopic equipment and supplies to the Lviv Pediatric Hospital.
– July 3, 2023 – Delivery of training equipment to the Medical Training Center.
– August 7, 2023 – Delivery of a specialized TPMR (Transport for People with Reduced Mobility) vehicle to the Unbroken rehabilitation center.
