In the face of constant shelling and bombing by the enemy army and targeted destruction of medical infrastructure, we are doing everything possible to provide medical care for our patients. Efficient and high-quality work of emergency medical services is critical. It's about saving the lives and health of a huge number of people. I am grateful to all our partners who help us maintain the operation of ekstrenka, in particular, to update the fleet, which, unfortunately, also often becomes a target for the enemy. Ten Class C ambulances purchased thanks to donations from Canadian citizens are equipped with everything necessary for transporting seriously ill patients and will strengthen emergency medical care and disaster medicine centers in seven regions of Ukraine

These vehicles have already been distributed among emergency medical care and disaster medicine centers in Transcarpathian, Lviv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Mykolaiv, Kherson and Khmelnytsky regions.
