Why this project is needed.
Many frontline and rural communities have limited access to essential medicines, while injury and health risks remain high. Health facilities are overstretched or damaged, and supply chains do not always ensure timely, affordable access to the drugs patients need.
How the project solves it
The project provides free essential medicines, purchased from Ukrainian suppliers, to vulnerable patients through partner clinics, hospitals, and community organisations. By covering the cost of priority drugs, it ensures that people who cannot pay still receive necessary treatment and helps reduce pressure on overstretched health facilities.
What has been achieved.
Together with local partners, the project has delivered significant volumes of essential medicines to high‑risk communities and medical institutions in war‑affected areas. Doctors, nurses, and community health workers can now prescribe and dispense key drugs free of charge to patients who would otherwise go without treatment.
Where help is needed
Support is needed to finance the ongoing purchase of quality medicines from local suppliers and to expand free distribution to additional regions and facilities. Additional funding will also strengthen monitoring, reporting, and coordination with medical partners, so that free medicines consistently reach the patients who need them most.
