Medical supply donations for Ukraine

WHO appreciates offers of contributions of supply support in solidarity with the affected population of the current conflict in Ukraine.

Please note that supply into and within Ukraine is seriously constrained by continuously shifting conflict zones, damage to infrastructure and potential shortages of power and fuel. The WHO priority is to supply critically needed items in a manner that is safe, secure, and responsive to the environment in which we are operating in. Access constraints require that logistics planning and capacity are paramount if supplies are to move smoothly to destinations where they are needed.
