Volunteer combat medic “Garyk” and his team save lives on the frontlines every day. But this time, it wasn’t just them saving others — it was electronic warfare saving them. Watch how split-second decisions and advanced tech helped them dodge a deadly FPV drone strike on the Sumy frontline. This real story is a powerful reminder: every donation toward EW systems can mean the difference between life and death.

At the end of March, ARD 1, the main national channel of Germany's public broadcasting consortium, published a video report by its correspondent Susanna Peterson, spotlighting the work of the Pirogov First Volunteer Mobile Hospital (PDMSh) at a frontline stabilization post.

Brigadier General Oleksandr Pivnenko, Commander of the National Guard of Ukraine, was presented today with an honorary award from the Pirogov First Volunteer Mobile Hospital (PDMSh). PDMSh President Gennadiy Druzenko signed the commendation on March 26, coinciding with Ukraine's National Guard Day celebrations.

The work of volunteer medics at the PDMSh involves stabilization points, medevacs, and critical care evacuations. It’s a job marked by constant danger, no fixed schedule, and an overwhelming workload. What does a PDMSh rotation on the frontlines look like?

We at PDMSh always strive to be open with our partners, donors, volunteers, and everyone who supports us. That’s why we publish detailed monthly reports on our income, expenses, and the number of PDMSh patients we help.

The Mykola Pyrohov First Volunteer Mobile Hospital (PDMSh) and the Dobrobut network of clinics have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation concerning the treatment and rehabilitation of current servicemembers of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, veterans of the Russo-Ukrainian war, and civilian victims of Russian aggression.

Thanks to the "Djura", our medics can operate with confidence, knowing that their protection is reliable. We are sincerely grateful to everyone who participated in the assembly and creation of this unique armored medevac.

The medics from the Pirogov First Volunteer Mobile Hospital (PDMSh) have begun operations on the Sumy front, working tirelessly to save lives and provide quality medical care to those in need.

On December 15, the Pirogov First Volunteer Mobile Hospital (PDMSh) celebrated its 10th anniversary since the first group of volunteers was deployed to the Anti-Terrorist Operation zone, as the russia-Ukraine war was then known.
