There is a growing need for medical assistance both in Ukraine and in neighboring countries. The war has led to a shortage of everything from Paracet to life-saving drugs like insulin, heart medications, and antibiotics. The government is now shipping around NOK 43 million worth of drugs to ease a war-related emergency.
- We have to help each other when the crisis comes. We know that helping anyone who needs medical help is a challenge, and the Ukrainian health services are going through a hard test. It is obvious that Norway wants to contribute to the improvement of this situation, says the Minister of Health and Welfare Ingvild Kjerkol.
