The Smart Medical Aid Charitable Foundation is made up of practitioners, volunteers, and specialists with experience in emergency and disaster medicine. The Ukrainian-Dutch fund supplies medical equipment and consumables to Ukraine. In the three months since the start of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Foundation managed to create a team that delivered aid worth 80 million euros, brought about 100,000 American tourniquets, and equipped around 100 medical facilities in 24 regions. Our priority is to meet the medical needs in hot spots with active fighting and where people require immediate professional help.

The team is always in touch with the military command and front-line medics to understand and meet the needs of each location on time. In addition, if necessary, the Foundation’s specialists teach medical personnel to use new equipment so it can be commissioned as soon as possible. They teach the military the basics of tactical medicine and the civilian population – pre-medical aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Smart Medical Aid closely cooperates with doctors from different countries. Therefore we understand the features of not only the Ukrainian but also the European medical system. It helps us to find practical solutions to wartime challenges.
