On February 2, 2024, Nova Ukraine, one of the largest U.S.-based Ukrainian non-profit organizations, joined forces with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in a strategic partnership that will improve medical care quality and accessibility for Ukrainians, especially those impacted by the ongoing russian aggression during the full-scale invasion.
Partnership was formalized with the signing of a two-year memorandum of cooperation between the Nova Ukraine Medical Team and the Ukrainian Minister of Health, Viktor Liashko. This agreement marks a significant commitment toward tackling the immediate and longterm healthcare challenges faced by the nation. It is the hope of both Nova Ukraine and Ukraine’s Ministry of Health that joining forces will break new ground in achieving effective, coordinated healthcare despite the enormous medical fallout of war.
Oksana Gologorskaya, one of Nova Ukraine’s Medical Aid Team leads, highlighted the importance this way: “Closer collaboration with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine will allow our organization to apply resources where they are most needed, with an enhanced overall understanding of current countrywide challenges in the healthcare system and strategic initiatives that improve access to healthcare for Ukrainian people. Our goal is to communicate closely with the Ministry and other stakeholders, and coordinate our efforts with other humanitarian organizations to provide maximum support to Ukrainian people to save and improve as many lives as possible.”
The memorandum identifies several specific areas of cooperation. Firstly, it includes the provision of medical equipment, medicines, and medical products to healthcare facilities across Ukraine. Secondly, it emphasizes the development and maintenance of new and existing rehabilitation programs. Thirdly, it focuses on continuing projects that support high-functioning, life-enhancing prosthetics. Lastly, the memorandum involves supplying life-saving tactical medicine and training medical personnel and civilians in its use.
This partnership is a testament to the power of collaboration between governmental bodies and non-profit organizations in addressing the complex challenges of healthcare provision in times of crisis.
