Psychosocial and medical care for people affected by war

Both in Ukraine and among the refugees in neighboring Moldova, there is a great humanitarian emergency.

The joint project of action medeor and the partner organization INTERSOS includes various measures with the aim of improving access to life-saving basic medical care and protection services for the population affected by the war (internally displaced persons and host communities affected by the conflict in southern Ukraine and refugees in the Republic of Moldova).

The project includes providing medical care and advice to patients who are reached via a mobile clinic in regions that have not yet received adequate care. Psychosocial care and advice is also offered.

Another project component includes the delivery of freeze-dried blood plasma and urgently needed medical supplies to hospitals in Ukraine to support healthcare in the country.
