Frontline Live : Portable Surgical Lamps

The people in war-torn Ukraine are existing through unimaginable hell. According to the WHO, 9.5 million Ukrainians need healthcare. There have been at least 631 Russian attacks on healthcare facilities since the beginning of the war. The electricity infrastructure has been pretty much demolished. Nearly 10 million people are without electricity much of the time. Just imagine the impact on patients in hospitals and on the doctors that depend on electronic equipment to keep people alive.

The Ukrainian tragedy has raised more funds globally than any other crisis in history, yet reports show that only 0.24% of the $2.6 billion raised has made it to the grassroots frontline charities that are doing most of the humanitarian work on the ground*.

Frontline Live Ukraine is committed to support the charities who are doing the real work.  We are crowdfunding for the specific medical items that our registered charities tell us they most urgently need on https://frontlineliveukraine.org/

Every pound that you donate on this page will be spent on Portable Examination Lamps and on making sure that they are delivered directly to the organisations that need them most. You’ll be able to track their journey and delivery on this page.

ENDORSEMENTS 

Anastasia Sheremet. Anaesthesiologist and doctor now working with the Ambulance Brigade in Kyiv.

“Our ambulance brigade treats and transports critically injured people from the front line to hospitals in safer areas of Ukraine. Time is precious and access to specialised mobile medical equipment is what often decides whether people live or die.

The Frontline Live platform is invaluable to us. It gives us a voice so you understand exactly what we need, and where. The Frontline Live volunteers will  spend all of your donations on our specific medical needs."

Igor Paniuk. Senior Director of Trinetix. Seconded to support Ukrainian charities

“Doctors like my father are having to do procedures in the near dark. The emergency gets worse as we head toward the darkness of winter, with sporadic electricity.

Though Frontline Live Ukraine we know all the money will be spent on the equipment we really need. Thank you for continuing to support us.”

Inna Bilous. Founder Manifest Mira 

“We are going through hell at the moment. We, Ukrainians wake up each day to the insecurity and uncertainty of a continuing war… and have to keep on working.

The real front line in Ukraine is longer and wider than you might imagine. Everyone is involved: doctors and nurses, emergency and social workers, teachers and council workers.

The continued support of the global community gives us the strength to carry on and resist. Thank you.“
