PDMSh: 100,000 Patients in 10 Years of War
In November 2024, the Pirogov First Volunteer Mobile Hospital (PDMSh) reached a significant milestone by providing medical assistance to its 100,000th patient. As of December 1, 2024, the total number of patients treated by PDMSh has climbed to 100,469. This achievement comes ten years after the mobile hospital’s first team of 39 volunteer medics embarked on their inaugural mission in the Anti-Terrorist Operation zone, which was the term used for the russian war on Ukraine at that time.

Effective Implementation of ERP for PDMSh
The implementation of the ERP system has not only automated resource accounting for PDMSh but also enhanced transparency and manageability of operations. By adapting the system to complex logistics conditions and integrating it with volunteer projects, PDMSh can operate more effectively in wartime conditions and ensure more accurate resource allocation, while optimizing its activities and providing medical care at the front with minimal loss of resources and time.

PDMSh Revenues and Expenditures in September 2024
In September 2024, PDMSh total revenue amounted to UAH 2.5 million, which is 39% more compared to August when we received UAH 1.8 million. Most of the revenue in September (71.5%) again came from hryvnias, but the share of foreign currency revenue significantly increased to 28.5% (in August, it was only 1.7%), indicating the activation of support from foreign partners. We sincerely thank the global community that supports PDMSh and does not forget about our struggle!
