Ukraine Cancer Relief: Aid for War's Forgotten

Despite the ongoing war and relentless pressure on Ukraine’s healthcare system, cancer does not stop and neither does our support.

Through the Ukraine Cancer Relief program, Mission Kharkiv continues to stand with patients across the country, ensuring that access to life-saving oncology treatment is not interrupted by war, displacement, or systemic disruption.

In March 2026, we delivered a total of 1,309 units of essential oncology medications through 237 distributions. Of these, 720 units were provided to healthcare facilities, while 589 units reached individual patients directly, helping people continue treatment at a time when continuity can mean survival.

Behind every number is a person trying to hold on to treatment, stability, and hope in the middle of uncertainty.

This month, we supported 113 women and 100 men, each facing a cancer diagnosis while also living through the daily consequences of war.

• 105 distributions took place  in Kharkiv
• 106 distributions  took place  in Lviv
• 26 distributions took place in Dnipro and through Nova Poshta 

In total, we worked with 27 healthcare facilities, helping strengthen their ability to continue providing oncology care despite ongoing shortages and systemic strain.

Ukraine’s healthcare system continues to face disrupted supply chains, logistical barriers, and increasing demand. For cancer patients, even short delays in treatment can have life-altering consequences.

That is why every delivery matters.

Every package of medicine represents more than treatment it represents time, dignity, and the chance to continue fighting.

We are deeply grateful to our donors and supporters whose solidarity makes this work possible. Your commitment ensures that cancer patients in Ukraine are not left alone in their most vulnerable moments.

Thanks to your support, treatment continues. Hope continues. Life continues.
