The Ministry of Health of Ukraine has received another 70 ambulances from the Government of the Republic of Korea to provide emergency medical care during the war. Earlier, 30 ambulances were delivered to Ukraine, so in total, Korea has donated 100 vehicles as humanitarian aid.

The ambulances will be used to provide the necessary assistance to patients who need additional life-sustaining measures during transportation to and between hospitals.

The ambulances are equipped to provide life-saving assistance to patients during medical transportation.

“The ongoing full-scale war has significantly increased the need for vehicles for the rapid evacuation of victims. At the same time, our medical infrastructure is constantly under fire and attack from the russian army. So far, more than 500 ambulances have been destroyed, damaged or captured by the enemy. We are grateful to the Korean government and personally to Ambassador Kim Hyung-tae for supporting our medical system and providing assistance. These ambulances will help our heroic medics continue to save lives under any circumstances,” said Viktor Liashko, Minister of Health of Ukraine.

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Korea has repeatedly helped Ukraine’s healthcare system by sending vaccines, medical devices, and medicines.
