Nova Ukraine Wins National Award for Medical Aid Efforts in Ukraine

Angel figurine awards for the "Charitable Ukraine" contest.

We are honored to share that Nova Ukraine has received first place in the “Charity in Healthcare” category at Charitable Ukraine 2024, the country’s highest national recognition for charitable work.

Out of more than 1,790 applicants across 26 categories, only three winners were selected in each. At the award ceremony in Kyiv, honorees were presented with the “Angel of Goodness” statuette – a national symbol of gratitude for humanitarian service.

This award recognizes the collective efforts of our medical team and partners who work every day to save lives and strengthen Ukraine’s healthcare system under fire. Through our HEAL initiative, Nova Ukraine delivers trauma kits, funds first-aid training, equips hospitals, and supports rehabilitation programs for civilians and veterans across the country – including in regions near frontlines.

Ukraine’s healthcare system, already under strain from years of underfunding and the impact of COVID-19, has been devastated by war. Hospitals near the front and across the country face power outages, staff shortages, and supply crises – all while treating a constant flow of trauma patients. Our role is to help bridge global medical standards with on-the-ground realities, working hand-in-hand with local responders. Our medical team is focused on both saving lives and rebuilding them, so people in Ukraine can receive comprehensive care even in the hardest-hit areas.

We do this in close coordination with Ukrainian hospitals – more than 600 supported in 2024 – as well as the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, local nonprofits, and U.S.-based partners. These partnerships allow us to deliver modern equipment, provide emergency response training, and enable long-term recovery through specialized rehabilitation centers.

This recognition is a testament to what’s possible when compassion meets coordination. Behind every kit, every delivery, every training is a life saved – or a future restored.

HEAL with us. Your support helps us train first responders, supply hospitals, rehabilitate veterans, and provide care where it’s needed most.

A photo of a memory board created by Zmistovno students in Odesa, July 2026 Thirty-five years ago, on August 24, Ukraine restored its independence. Today, Ukrainians defend and strengthen it every single day. The United States and Ukraine are separated by geography and history, but united by the belief that people have the right to live freely and determine their own future. In July, Ambassador Erin E. McKee traveled to Odesa and Mykolaiv to meet the people and organizations living that belief: Ukrainians leading recovery in their own communities, supported by partnerships that last.

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.

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.
