Five weeks early we’ve passed our £10k target to support the appeal from the Free Trade Union of Medical Workers in a mining region of Ukraine. So we’ve launched a new target, £15,000 by 31 March.

A branch of the Free Trade Union of Medical Workers of Ukraine in a mining region of western Ukraine is appealing for humanitarian aid for its hospital, to help it cope with the extensive consequences of the war it is having to deal with – at the same time as campaigning vigorously to defend the health system about cutting, neoliberal reforms.

Ukraine Solidarity Campaign (USC) has so far raised £13,186.67 for the appeal – donated by unions / union branches, trade unionists and other supporters of Ukraine. We are trying to reach £15,000 by 31 March.

As well as donating and sharing, please ask your union branch or other organisation to donate.

UK civil service trade union PCS, which works closely with us, has donated £10,000 of aid to an appeal by the Free Trade Union of Medical Workers nationally – we are trying to match that and more for the local appeal. Please help us!

Please also let us know if you can help procure equipment.

The union in Ukraine is seeking to procure a system of continuous passive joint movement (knee, ankle, foot, elbow, radial and wrist), strength training equipment for rehabilitation, functional beds, bedside functional tables for meals, monitors to monitor the cardiovascular system, bedside toilets, trolleys for food distribution, and computers.
