MSF AUSTRALIA | UKRAINE 2022
Full-scale war erupted in Ukraine in February 2022, after eight years of conflict in the east of the country. In 2022, thousands of civilians were killed or injured, and homes, key infrastructure and public services were destroyed or disrupted. MSF provided medical and mental healthcare for people sheltering in the underground stations of Kharkiv; and ran mobile clinics in areas of southern Ukraine to provide support in areas retaken by the Ukrainian forces. In coordination with the Ukrainian Interior Ministry and the Ministry of Health in Kyiv and Vinnytsia, we offered specialised physiotherapy, as well as psychological and psychiatric treatment, in two hospitals.
