The Israeli Medical Mission in Ukraine (IMM)

is a public charitable organization with the main goal to provide assistance and support to the medical sector in Ukraine as a whole, as well as to all its components.

Problem

The unprecedented challenge faced by the medical industry of Ukraine during Russia’s full-scale military aggression against Ukraine made us think about the systematic assistance that specialists from different countries can provide to the Ukrainian people. This is how we came up with the idea of creating the “Israeli Medical Mission” charity fund. The war has caused mass displacement of people, exacerbation of serious diseases, spread of diseases that were rare in the past, mental health problems, professional burnout and displacement of health workers, destruction of infrastructure and supply chains of medical drugs and medicines, gigantic need for rehabilitation of war victims. The consequences of war injuries will require special efforts from the state and society to restore and rehabilitate a huge number of Ukrainians for many years to come. We are convinced that a country that is being renewed needs a healthy and capable nation, therefore we want and are ready to fight for the availability and systematic rehabilitation of Ukrainians, helping to establish a national policy of physical and psychological rehabilitation.

Goal

The purpose of IMM activity is to improve the level of access of the population of Ukraine, both civilians and military personnel, to high-quality, systematic, modern, multidisciplinary and timely medical care, in particular rehabilitation, and to support the effective functioning of health care institutions.
