Support MSF's Emergency Work in Ukraine and Around the Globe

Your gift to our General Fund today, can support our emergency medical relief efforts in the Ukraine and across more than 70 contexts around the globe. Allowing us to be where care is needed most.

Access to healthcare remains a major challenge. Since the start of the full-scale invasion launched by Russian forces in February 2022, many local clinics have been damaged or destroyed, medical staff have left and pharmacies are often closed.

Reaching a physician can require travelling long distances — sometimes 20, 30 or even up to 100 kilometres — along damaged roads and under the constant threat of drone strikes. Public transport has mostly collapsed. Disruptions to healthcare are also affecting people with tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. Many must travel long distances to continue treatment, while reduced access to diagnostics means cases may go undetected — masking the true scale of needs.

To address these gaps, MSF supports hospitals near the frontline and runs mobile clinics in Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia regions. MSF teams continue to maintain some level of primary healthcare in areas too dangerous to access physically by conducting remote consultations. In these cases, a volunteer in the community is trained by MSF to take vital signs and assist with patient interaction, while consultations are carried out via video call with an MSF physician.

As the war continues, ensuring access to basic healthcare is not only about treating emergencies but preventing them. Without timely care, manageable chronic diseases will continue to escalate into life-threatening conditions, silently worsening the health of people already living through extreme hardship.

By donating to MSF today, you will help ensure that we can deliver emergency medical care to people in the Ukraine and around the world.

Thank you for your generosity.
