With another winter looming, Ukraine’s healthcare system is bracing for more strikes on energy infrastructure. Many hospitals are still badly damaged, and millions of people are displaced around the country, stretching medical services to the limit. Demand for psychological support among the population is snowballing, according to experts on the ground.
Non-profits that Direct Relief supports in Ukraine are starting new psychosocial initiatives across the country, including a center providing free psychosocial support for kids called the Kimnata Pidtrymky (“Room of Support”) recently opened by Kharkiv Renovation Fund, are helping normalize reaching out for psychological help.
Since the war broke out, Direct Relief has deployed more than 1,550 tons of medical aid, 294.9 million defined daily doses, $35.2 million in financial assistance, and $1.1 billion in material aid assistance to a network of government and non-profit health care providers across Ukraine.
