Heidelberg helps: Medicine devices save life in Ukraine!

Heidelberg, Deutschland - A remarkable contribution to humanitarian aid: The University Hospital Heidelberg has donated medical devices that are urgently needed in a clinic in Charkiw, Ukraine. Dr. Stefanie Sauer, specialist pharmacist for clinical pharmacy at the UKHD, could not accept it to easily escape functional devices. She turned to the organization "Pharmacist Without Borders" to find out whether another use for the devices was possible. Thanks to their Initiative, the contact with the organization "Project Nadiya" was established, which took over the logistics for transport. On December 13, the devices were finally picked up and brought to Kyjiw, where Ukrainian organizations took over the further handover.

The cooperation received support from Humanilog, a specialized logistics company from Hamburg. David Bantschow, board member at Project Nadiya e.V., expressed optimistic about the successful transport: "The equipment is urgently needed in Charkiw and can have a lasting effect there." This initiative impressively shows how local clinics and organizations can work together to provide efficient help.
