The Ministry of Health of Ukraine, in cooperation with the European Commission, provided medical evacuation of another group of patients.

In particular, a couple from Bucha and a patient from Kharkiv region were evacuated - people were injured during the occupation and need prosthetics and further rehabilitation.

Ukrainians who have become victims of the russian military aggression are conveyed abroad for treatment almost every day. Adults and children are being evacuated with combined injuries, burns, mine injuries and other serious diseases that are currently difficult to treat in Ukraine.

Thanks to the cooperation of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the European Commission, with the active assistance of regional military administrations and medical institutions, support of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and the State Migration Service of Ukraine through the European Union emergency response system a line specialized clinics is determined in one of the EU states to admit Ukrainian citizens for treatment and rehabilitation.

International partners in cooperation with the Emergency Medical Service of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine provide transportation of patients from the hospital in the frontline area through the Lviv Medical Hub to the airport in Poland. Then the baton is picked up by air hospitals. As an example, a special medical board transported Ukrainians to Italy for specialized treatment yesterday.

This is one of the effective ways to evacuate patients, when the Ministry submits an evacuation request and receives proposals from various member states of the European Union and the European Economic Area. The Ministry of Health then contacts the clinic and agrees on the stages and routes of safe medical transportation.

In addition, there is another direction of transportation - the evacuation of children with cancer from Ukraine to Poland. The so-called "convoys of life", which regularly take children with oncology out of the shelling, first to the Western Ukrainian Specialized Children's Medical Center in Lviv and then to Poland, to a specially created Unicorn Center coordinated by St Jude Clinic. From there, children are taken to the best medical facilities in Europe.
