SMART MEDICAL AID
WHO WE ARE
The SMART Medical Aid Charitable Foundation is composed of a diverse team of medical practitioners, volunteers and industry specialists with extensive experience in emergency and disaster medicine. In the first three months following russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian-Dutch foundation managed to create a team that delivered 14 620 168 euros worth of medical supplies and consumables, purchased 110,000 CAT tourniquets and equipped over 203 medical facilities in 24 regions of Ukraine. SMART’s priority is to meet the medical needs in hot spots in Ukraine, where people require immediate professional help most acutely.
Our team is in constant contact with Ukrainian military command and front-line medics in order to best understand how to meet the needs of each specific location. Additionally, not only does SMART donate the equipment itself, but ensures that our trainers instruct the recipients in how to effectively utilise any items they recieve, thus allowing it can be implemented as quickly as possible. For example, our trainers teach the military the basics of tactical medicine, and for civilians, pre-medical aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
SMART Medical Aid works in close cooperation with a global network of physicians, allowing us to understand the intricacies of not only the Ukrainian, but the larger European medical system – thus, enabling us to find practical solutions to complex wartime challenges.
