Project Goal:
The MedAid Fund aims to equip hospitals, social institutions, and assist residents of Ukraine with essential medical equipment, medicines, and emergency support for healthcare facilities in communities where Ukrainian community foundations are active.
Thanks to the fund’s support, grants have been made available to community foundations in Ukraine, and medical equipment is being procured for hospitals based on requests from local communities. These include: basic and specialized medicines, hospital beds, hygiene products, bandaging materials, baby formula, consumables for various hospital departments (such as dialysis and perinatal care), wheelchairs, crutches, and functional beds.
This project supports medical institutions in Kherson, a frontline city suffering from regular attacks that damage critical infrastructure. The disruption of energy supply severely impacts hospitals that perform surgeries daily and rely on continuous electricity. The Kherson Community Foundation “Zakhyst” is implementing several initiatives to provide uninterrupted power to these hospitals.
Generator for Beresan City Hospital
A generator worth 470,000 UAH was purchased to ensure uninterrupted power for the hospital. This project was implemented through the collaboration of the Berezan Community Foundation, Berezan City Council, and the National Network of Local Philanthropy, with funding from the German Marshall Fund. The 80 kW generator can fully power the hospital during outages. The city council contributed 40,000 UAH toward the total cost.
Medicine for Novoyavorivska Community
Medicines worth 16,062.54 UAH were purchased for residents and internally displaced persons. The donation was made through LiqPay.
Medicine & Supplies for Kharkiv Community Fund “Toloka”
In April, the fund hosted a classical music concert for medical staff and patients at the Kharkiv Regional Perinatal Center. In May, it delivered 26 types of medicines and materials needed daily by the center.
20 Individual First Aid Kits
Thanks to the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, 20 personal first aid kits were provided for emergency assistance to the wounded.
Individual Donations
Thanks to individual donors, MedAid raised 17,063.15 UAH for targeted support.
Two Generators for Vasylkiv Medical Facilities
