“How They Save Our Warriors’ Lives!” — A New Video on PDMSh

This week, the morning program “Wake Up!” on the “We Are Ukraine +” TV channel featured a report on the Pirogov First Volunteer Mobile Hospital (PDMSh) titled “How They Save Our Warriors’ Lives!” Logistics specialist Mykola Pichuhin, anesthesiologist Maria, and PDMSh President Gennadiy Druzenko discussed the principles guiding the volunteer hospital’s operations. They shared insights on how they recruit civilian doctors who choose to leave their vacations behind to serve at the front lines, spending a month in places like Lyman or Sloviansk. The report also highlighted the resources and equipment used to save the lives of Ukraine’s defenders.

Constant explosions, some very close, an endless flow of wounded, and the heat only made the conditions more difficult. PDMSh volunteers worked every day and often at night as well. The PDMSh support teams continued their active work to ensure uninterrupted operations on the front. As the month came to an end, it’s time for our traditional monthly report on income and expenses.
