Lifesaving equipment for surgeons in Kyiv Ukraine

Hi, my name is Stanislava Reizin, and I am originally from Kyiv, Ukraine. I spent the last several weeks worrying about my family in Kyiv, helpless to help. Most of my family's women and children have now evacuated, but my cousin Denis and uncle Vladimir have stayed behind. They are surgeons in one of Kyiv's city hospitals, and for the past few weeks, they have been living in the hospital and operating around the clock on dozens of wounded citizens.

 

The hospital is getting humanitarian aid, but it's primarily disposables (masks, syringes, etc..) But what they really need are lifesaving tools and equipment, which are expensive, difficult to obtain, and take a lot of time to get via big humanitarian organizations.

 

Below is a list of necessary equipment my cousin Denis sent me last night. With your help, we will be purchasing this equipment in Germany and Poland, then transporting it across the border and into the heart of Ukraine, right into the hands of surgeons who desperately need it to save lives.

1. Laparoscopic equipment for abdominal and thoracic surgery
