This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are reminded of the millions of individuals battling this disease worldwide.
At Americares, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality health care. In Ukraine, amid ongoing conflicts and instability, access to essential cancer medications became a critical issue - and we knew it was imperative to find a solution.
After Russia's invasion, Americares partnered with a local organization in Ukraine to secure a bomb-proof shelter specifically for oncology medicine, including medication for chemotherapy.
An estimated 20,000 oncology patients from Kharkiv and surrounding regions, displaced and unable to purchase medication for themselves, are expected to benefit from this lifesaving project.
Together, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we can make a lasting difference in access to health services in Ukraine and around the world. Thank you.
