Since the onset of the war in 2022, HPIC has worked closely with trusted partners in Ukraine to provide essential treatments for patients affected by ongoing violence and displacement. Over the past three years, HPIC has shipped more than $27 million in medicine and wound-care supplies to Ukraine, including antibiotics, pain relief, and emergency care products for trauma and chronic conditions.

“Three years ago, when HPIC put out the call to our partners for medical aid for Ukraine, we were overwhelmed by the generosity of the local pharmaceutical industry, community organizations and individuals who all stepped up to help,” said Lois Brown, President of Health Partners International Canada.

“Today, Ukrainian health facilities continue to face immense pressure,” added Lois Brown. “Our partners on the ground report critical shortages of essential medicines and we cannot stop sending life-saving medical aid and supplies to the desperate people in Ukraine. Every donation we receive helps ensure that doctors and nurses can continue treating those in urgent need.”

HPIC’s emergency response efforts in Ukraine are part of its broader humanitarian mission to improve access to medicine in crisis-affected regions worldwide.
