Pirogov First Volunteer Mobile Hospital

Saving Everyone

Kyiv, Apr. 8, 2015 — While the authorities are pondering over how to take Donbas out of the information vacuum and overcome the Russian propaganda, volunteers have locally opened up their own front, according to a story in Den.

For example, doctors of the Pirogov First Volunteer Mobile Hospital (PFVMH) are sure: you should persuade people in Donbas that Ukraine is ready to come to their help by deeds, not words.

Therefore, beside their main tasks — evacuate the wounded from battlefield and apply fist aid — the doctors also help peaceful citizens who come to see a doctor. It often happens that the volunteer physicians are the only ones local residents can count on.

Read the whole story on the Den site providing a detailed report on journalists’ visit to the PFVMH main base in Artemivsk, Donetsk Oblast (in Ukrainian).
