Norfolk General Hospital and Norfolk County Paramedic Services have teamed up to send medical supplies to Ukraine.
Last week, the World Health Organization warned in a statement that thousands of lives are at risk as the supplies of medical oxygen are running low throughout Ukraine.
NGH and Norfolk County Paramedic Services will be donating medical kits with supplies that are close to the end of their use date such as needles, syringes, IV tubing, oxygen tubing, PPE, and surgical items.
These items will go to the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations Canada- an independent, non-profit, non-government, medical,humanitarian organization.
This will ensure the medical supplies get to the people in Ukraine.
