HOSPITAL ON WHEELS: “DOCTOR FOR THE VILLAGE” INITIATIVE LAUNCHED IN VINNYTSIA REGION

06 december 2022

A pilot social initiative “Doctor for the Village” has been launched in Vinnytsia region, thanks to the support of the MHP-Gromadi Charitable Foundation and international partners MOAS, RMH Latvija and the Oksana Dmitrieva Charitable Foundation. A specially equipped ambulance, stocked with reagents and medical equipment, has been dispatched to service small settlements across the region. This service will enable everyone to be able to undergo a primary examination and receive free medical advice.

“Due to the war, logistics and the access to primary professional consultations and medical examinations have been significantly complicated for the residents of Ukrainian villages and small towns. Therefore, we decided to take responsibility and implement the project “Doctor for the Village”,” commented Pavlo Moroz, Director of the Corporate Social Responsibility Department at MHP.

The initiative launched in the Vinnytsia region and  aims to give the region’s residents access to the following medical consultations:

  • therapist;
  • ophthalmologist;
  • ultrasound and ECG examination;
  • check blood sugar level;
  • receive free necessary medicines.


“Of course, mostly elderly people come here, – says Anastasia Zubrytska, ophthalmologist, – Few of them have the opportunity to check their eyesight in the primary health care centers in time. And we come to them in the village. People are informed and are already waiting for us in the morning.”

This ‘hospital on wheels’ has already visited villages: Ochytkiv, Skala, Velyka Rostivka, Chahiv, Borysivka and Yakubivka. The tenants of PJSC “Zernoproduct MHP” have also received free glasses, selected for them by ophthalmologists following their complimentary examinations.

“What a good deed they do for us,” – rejoiced Galina Makieva, a resident of Yakubivka

In total, the ambulance’s route covers 25 settlements and will last for a month. Residents will be notified about the arrival of the “hospital on wheels” by the local elder.

The MHP-Gromadі Charitable Foundation also expresses special gratitude to the Supporting Good Deeds Foundation, which passed the baton of the medical project from Cherkasy to Vinnytsia region.
