Project HOPE President and CEO Rabih Torbay recently traveled through Ukraine to understand the impacts of the war on the country’s health care. From the time he spent in a hospital in Kyiv, he tells the stories of several patients grateful to be alive, and a doctor whose team has been working tirelessly since the beginning of the crisis:
“I asked him, how do they do it? How do they cope with everything they see and deal with? He began to tear up as he explained that on February 21, the first day of the war, there were few staff in the hospital at 5:30 a.m. But by 10 a.m., all the staff were in the hospital without being called. They all stayed in the hospital 24/7, sleeping on the floor, couches, chairs, empty beds, wherever they could. He said he’s never been prouder of being Ukrainian.”
You can read Rabih’s full reflections and photos from his trip here.
