WHO releases emergency funds to purchase desperately needed medical supplies
I also call for sustained and safe access for the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
WHO has for decades worked closely with health authorities across Ukraine. We have a deep knowledge of the capacities and needs of the country’s health system.
Today I released a further US$3.5 million from WHO’s Contingency Fund for Emergencies (CFE) to purchase and deliver urgent medical supplies. This humanitarian health support is expected to rise following further needs assessments. This new support complements the trauma and medical supplies which we prepositioned in health facilities.
We will continue to deliver care and support the people across Ukraine affected by this crisis.
