Nova Ukraine Takes Part in the “Marathon of Support Programs for Medical Institutions” at 33rd International Medical Exhibition, Public Health 2024 in Kyiv, Ukraine

Between February 2022 and September 2024, Nova Ukraine delivered $110 million in aid, helped more than 7,897,400 people, supported evacuations of 160,000 people and animals, and currently maintains a presence of more than 3,517 volunteers in Ukraine. In the third year of the full-scale invasion by russia, it’s now more important than ever to stay strong, present, and help in any way we can.

Since Nova Ukraine’s inception 10 years ago, our focus and main initiatives included medical aid, advocacy, infrastructure, and education and culture. Medical initiatives get the largest share of our budget. Nova Ukraine supplies medical equipment including hospital beds, tactical medicine, prosthetics, medications for hospitals, stabilization centers and the civilian population in Ukraine, and more.

To discuss our current medical initiatives, Nova Ukraine took part in the “Marathon of Support Programs for Medical Institutions” held as part of the annual exhibition, Public Health 2024 in Kyiv, Ukraine. During the marathon, representatives of International and Ukrainian charitable foundations, which provide humanitarian aid to Ukrainian medical institutions, talked about their assistance programs.

Andrii Rudenko, medical lead of the UA team, shared with representatives of the medical institutions the projects that Nova Ukraine implements in Ukraine. We talked about the main strategy of the medical team’s work, which is to implement projects that contribute to saving lives and rehabilitation.  

In addition to highlighting the usual areas of assistance that medical institutions can apply for, we also talked about new areas of assistance. Currently, Nova Ukraine is placing significant emphasis on projects to promote the rehabilitation of the wounded and support prosthetics, assistance in equipping stabilization points, and assistance in the development of the field of Pain Medicine (the creation of an accessible network of assistance for patients with chronic pain).

We are happy that we can help with specific initiatives, building the general support of the medical system. We are also grateful to our partners with whom we constantly implement joint projects: Patients of Ukraine, NaHa Zdorovi, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, Civil Awareness Center from CF Serhiy Prytula, Patriot, Leleka Foundation, Sich, ProstetiKa, and Protez Hub.

Donate. Impact. Change.

Training ENT Surgeons in Acoustic Trauma

Author Matt Salter Nova Ukraine is dedicating funds to a vital and often underserved medical necessity in conflict areas: acoustic trauma. In partnership with Pivnyk Charitable Foundation, this new program will train Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctors in Ukraine to treat hearing loss and ear injuries. Why Hearing Restoration Is Critical An estimated 60% of people injured in combat zones suffer acoustic trauma, hearing loss, or both. Ukrainian troops and civilians throughout the country suffer acoustic injuries. Without proper treatment, the pain and sensory loss of such injuries can last a lifetime.

On the ground with Nova Ukraine’s CEO: Stories of impact from Lviv, Kyiv, and Kharkiv

Author Diana Kirk The mom passing warm slices of bread to her kids. The warehouse worker placing that last box on the truck. The child in the after-school program who just discovered: she loves to draw. These are snapshots from a trip that stayed with Nova Ukraine’s CEO Ambassador, Erin E. McKee, long after she left Lviv, Kyiv, and Kharkiv in April 2026. Because behind each moment is the work of an extraordinary partner organization, helping to heal, build, and empower Ukraine. Together, we're ensuring that the Ukrainian people remain resilient today, and thrive tomorrow. In two dozen meetings with partners, local leaders, and people on the ground, here's what Erin saw.

Aprons shield vital organs and bone marrow from radiation exposure. Collars protect the thyroid gland, which is sensitive to excessive radiation. Both are vital in long-term X-ray use. In addition to providing improved safety through the procedure, protective gear allows for more detailed imaging, which makes for improved diagnosis, better treatment, and healthier patients. Tools like these go beyond the current crisis: they are reliable and reusable, suitable for the long-term use that forms the foundation of resilient healthcare systems. Nova Ukraine, through our HEAL pillar, is dedicated to providing Ukrainian doctors, medics, nurses, and other healthcare professionals with the tools they need to build strong and lasting healthcare infrastructure across the country.

Equipping Doctors for Safer Diagnosis

Author Matt Salter Nova Ukraine’s latest investment in strong, modern healthcare systems has arrived! Lviv First Medical Association has received a shipment of protective X-ray aprons and collars. These tools keep patients and caregivers safe during procedures requiring X-ray imaging, empowering healthcare workers to give patients top-quality diagnosis, treatment, and care. The new aprons and collars protect patients and healthcare workers from X-ray overexposure in video urodynamics, the process of identifying and treating potentially deadly issues of the urinary system and bladder. It calls for specialists to stay by a patient’s side from the beginning of the imaging process to the end of the procedure. Long-term, hands-on care like this produces the best outcomes, but without protective gear, it risks exposing patients and doctors to dangerous levels of radiation. With the new gear, doctors in Ukraine can deliver best-in-class diagnosis and treatment, improving current and future outcomes across the national healthcare system.
