Americares is meeting health needs of children and adults affected by Russia's invasion of Ukraine through its support of local organizations. People living in Ukraine face barriers to care: a shrinking health workforce, rising healthcare costs, declining or disappearing incomes and mass displacement. In the two years since the start of the war, we have provided grants and shipments of medicine and medical supplies, helping local organizations meet a wide range of critical health needs.
More than two years of war has caused widespread destruction, reducing some cities to rubble, damaging or destroying hundreds of thousands of homes along with critical infrastructure and leaving millions of people with limited or no access to electricity, water or heat. Many people are living either in collective centers or damaged buildings, without basic needs for daily life and vulnerable to a range of health threats.
Americares focuses its support on local Ukraine organizations, providing them with medicine, medical and relief supplies, technical support and training, while mainstreaming protection work to reach populations most in need of humanitarian aid, including women, children and older people. We are focusing our response in three main areas: medicine and support for health services, mental health and psychosocial support and strengthening the capacity and sustainability of Ukrainian organizations
With your support, Americares will remain a major source of support for health systems, health providers, mental health programs, and other resources for the millions of people dealing with the acute disruptions and lasting trauma of the worst humanitarian crisis Europe has faced in nearly a century.
