"I'opinione delle Liberta" ABOUT US

"Your mobile clinics operate a few kilometers from the front: what are the main daily challenges – logistical, human and safety – and how do you manage to ensure continuity of care?"
We provide quality medical care to elderly people with disabilities or reduced mobility who still live in rural areas, at a distance of between 10 and 50 km from the front. We visit them every month and transport them to the hospital in Kharkiv or Sumy if their health conditions worsen. The challenges are mainly logistic and security. The conditions of the roads are terrible: damaged by tanks, full of potholes, with destroyed bridges and abandoned mines... Ambulances don't hold up well on this ground, so we use rather 4x4 vehicles to move us. The main danger became the Russian drones that deliberately target civilians and aid workers.

"VATICAN NEWS" ABOUT US

...One of these four-wheeled clinics on Saturday, March 14 was on the way to a village on the border when a Russian FPV drone swooped on the car. “The volunteer couldn't do anything, the car was severely damaged.”
Within a year, Dignitas Ukraine has expanded and now has a logistics base: a former school, with a warehouse for storing medications (primarily antihypertensives, antibiotics, and insulin) and three other vehicles, including ambulances and 4x4s. "The volunteers come from France, the US, and Great Britain; the drivers are Ukrainian. There's always a doctor and a nurse on board" says Paul Vezaux.

Ukraine, des soins comme lien d’humanité

Dans les oblasts de Kharkiv et Soumy au nord-est de l’Ukraine, les équipes de Dignitas Ukraine rejoignent chaque jour ceux que la guerre a relégués dans l’ombre. Entre aide médicale d’urgence et accompagnement social, les actions de Dignitas répondent à l’effondrement des structures médicales locales alors que la guerre qui dure depuis presque quatre ans, s’éternise.
