The ongoing war in Ukraine has created a deep and lasting humanitarian crisis, leaving millions in urgent need of medical support. Since the conflict began, ICMDA (International Christian Medical and Dental Association) has been working closely with the Christian Medical Association of Ukraine (CMAU) to equip doctors and healthcare workers with essential medical supplies.
Through the generosity of Christian doctors, charities, and corporate donors more than 150 lorry loads of medical equipment, drugs, and consumables—valued at over $14 million—to over 300 hospitals, clinics, churches, and paramedical units across Ukraine. These shipments include lifesaving anaesthetic machines, patient monitors, hospital beds, medical backpacks for frontline paramedics, and critical supplies donated by pharmaceutical companies, NHS trusts, and logistics partners.
Despite these efforts, the need remains urgent. ICMDA continues to send two lorries per month of donated supplies, but additional funding is needed. It costs $5,000 per lorry to transport these critical shipments, and we aim to send at least 25 more lorry loads this year. Your support will ensure that hospitals and healthcare workers in Ukraine receive the vital resources they need to save lives.
Emergency Appeal
Healthserve Australia, in conjunction with ICMDA and Christian Medical and Dental Fellowship of Australia (CMDFA), is conducting an appeal that will go toward resourcing and supporting Ukrainian Christian doctors through communications, medical supplies and other aid.
We invite all Australian community members to please give generously to support the people of Ukraine.
Donations to this appeal are tax deductible.
