April Watkins, an AAPN member and frequent traveler on medical missions, shares this: “I was able to speak to my friend in the Ukraine…she is working in Western Ukraine to organize soldiers and medical supplies. She provided me a list of much needed equipment.” April has volunteered with InterVol and they will purchase the supplies, have them sent to Poland and distributed in the Ukraine by contacts there. A donated plane will travel to Poland from New York soon. You can donate at https://www.intervol.org

April also sent a message that the Ukraine Ministry of Health reports that more than 500 doctors, nurses and paramedics from the European Unition, Turkey, Isreal, USA, Canada, Australia, and others have expressed a desire to come to Ukraine to help in Ukraine hospitals.
