"Mobile hospitals" are concerned about the residents of the de-occupied territories
In 2023, the Techia Foundation, headed by President Oleh Krot, started a program to support residents of the de-occupied territories, which continues in the future, to help Ukrainians who do not have access to quality medicine.
Because the demand was overwhelming, it was decided to start a partnership with Fortitude SA Foundation to create medical clinics that could travel to de-occupied territories to provide medical services to people living in remote or hard-to-reach areas.
The Techia Foundation allocated funds for the purchase and equipping of three semi-trailers with all the necessary modern medical equipment, which have now turned into 9 offices where people can receive highly qualified assistance. Sometimes three dispensaries leave at once, but one can also leave.
The project plays an important role in ensuring access to medical care for the population that cannot get to stationary medical facilities.
Doctors travel to remote settlements that do not have equipment and specialists. The team includes an ophthalmologist, a neurologist, and an obstetrician-gynecologist. On the appointment of a family doctor, specialists provide ultrasound and laboratory tests.
"We created a tool that, in the right professional hands of our partner, the Fortitude UA Foundation, continues to work and benefit Ukrainians. The fund is engaged in attracting new partners and donors in order to carry out visits to as many de-occupied communities as possible. We are proud that our cooperation has such long-lasting results," said the Techia Foundation NGO.
As of today, project specialists have visited 22 settlements, and doctors have examined more than 3,000 patients. All examinations and consultations for patients are free of charge and are financed by a charitable foundation.
Mobile hospitals are equipped with everything necessary to provide medical services, including laboratory equipment, ultrasound machines, X-ray equipment, etc.
We are convinced that the project will continue to be effective, because the humanitarian and medical situation in Ukraine will require the support of benefactors.
