MOBILE CLINIC
PRIMARY HEALTH CARE
After two years of full-scale invasion, the situation has changed which also means that needs are changing. We have noticed that people in frontline areas often lack access to primary healthcare (PHC). Doctors and nurses either fled the war or are on the front line, supply chains for medicine have been cut, public transport systems don’t work. This is exactly where we come in.
Base UA wants to provide sustainable aid which means that we are adapting to the new phases of the war. From our base in Kramatorsk, we are able to provide primary health care throughout the Donetsk region and also the southern areas of the Kharkiv region.
We work with a large network of local partners to identify current needs and where our resources can be deployed most effectively, ensuring that we are precisely where we are needed. It is not only for reasons of effectiveness and efficiency that we plan our visits carefully together with our local partners. Even though we often work in liberated areas or comparatively safe territories – Russian attacks are still a major risk. Through professional mission planning, we minimize it as much as possible.
We also collect information about people who are unable to get to our clinics themselves and need to be transported or need a home visit because they are bedridden.
Our truck, the PHC-Unit, is on the road twice a week. Three days a week, we take care of individual cases: For example, we deliver medication, evacuate patients to hospitals or visit specific cases with a designated specialist.
We operate with an official license through a partner (a private medical practice in Kramatorsk) so we work directly with the Ukrainian e-health infrastructure and our local doctors can issue official referrals directly in the online portal of the Ukrainian public healthcare system.
