    Story

    This page is my continuing modest effort to help my Ukrainian colleagues in their everyday fight against the brutal enemy. Their lives have been turned upside down since the Russian hordes rolled into Ukraine in February, 2022. The previously peace-loving people have been forced to make very hard choices, often having to choose between their family's and own safety, and fighting for their freedom in the best way that they could.

    This is a personal project of mine – everything from sourcing the necessary kit, to delivering it to Ukraine is done by me, and through personal friends of mine - the Ukrainian volunteers based in Poland, and within Ukraine.

    I started to support colleagues in Ukraine in 2009, lecturing, training and sharing best- practice on major trauma-related subjects in Kyiv hospitals. There, the relationships were formed for the foundations of the work that followed – we understood what was needed on the ground, and importantly, who needed it. It was these contacts who prioritised the critical items which, with £30,000+ of crowd-funded support from my previous fundraising effort, I have personally purchased and delivered to Ukraine since the war began. I also travelled to Kyiv in March, 2023, and worked at a leading tertiary medical centre there, sharing my experience and knowledge with my anaesthetic and intensive care colleagues there.

    Also, during my visits to the war-torn Ukraine, I have listened to people’s stories about their experiences of war from different viewpoints. They have ranged from soldiers and medics fighting at the frontlines, surgeons, and anaesthetists working in field hospitals, and in more elective settings, as well as ordinary people, who like my wife’s parents managed to escape their hometowns under heavy bombardment in the first days of war.

    You can read those stories, as well as all the information about my previous trips, and fundraising on my personal webpage https://ukrivski.com.

    Please support our effort to help Ukrainian medics, and be a part of our story!

      End-tidal CO2 monitor that we have sourced with the help of my good friend Sergei, a Ukrainian anesthesiologist based in Germany, is already in use on the frontline. Here it is seen being used to improve safety during a transfer of the severely wounded soldier who needed respiratory support.
