Our work in Ukraine
Our capabilities are focused on tactical medicine training, donation management, supply chain logistics, civilian medical evacuations, and security advisement.
We are registered as a Ukrainian Charitable Foundation.
Current Capability: Tactical Medicine Training
We provide instruction of a modified Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC-ASM) training for members of the Ukrainian military, National Police EOD units, Military Administration employees, international NGOs, volunteer groups, and civilians. This curriculum is tailored specifically to their personal IFAK contents and focuses on care under fire, transportation of the wounded, hemorrhage control, self-administering aid, and how to avoid becoming an additional casualty in an already-overloaded medical system.
Current Capability: Donation Management
Managing the sourcing, procurement, and reception of donated medical supplies for hospital corpsman and combat medics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in addition to frontline hospitals and stabilization points. We build relationships with individual donors and other responding NGOs to fulfill the requests of unit medics and healthcare professionals. Supplies are then collected, inventoried, and stored on-site at our Forward Operating Base until scheduled delivery.
Current Capability: Supply Chain Logistics
Managing the transportation of donated medical supplies directly to the requesting medics on the Eastern and Southern frontlines, as well as our hospital partners. We also cooperate with other responding organizations to assist in the delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians in these regions that are often hard-to-reach due to ongoing offensives. We specialize in the “last mile delivery” to ensure maximum security and impact of the donated items.
Current Capability: Security Advisement
We provide security assessments and professional advisement for international press, responding NGOs/nonprofits, and volunteers within Ukraine. Our team has served in-country for 18 consecutive months, affording us insight and experience within frontline areas. We use our expertise within Ukraine to advise on security operating protocols, evacuation planning, and safe travel standards.
Current Capability:
Worksite Safety for Volunteer Recovery Groups
While the majority of our capabilities rest firmly in the response phase, recovery has already started for other volunteer organizations working in newly-liberated areas of Ukraine. We bring our expertise in disaster recovery to provide safety advisement to volunteers working to clean up residential areas that have been destroyed by the invasion. Our focus is on the use of appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and how to properly survey a worksite to ensure volunteer safety.
July 2023 - March 2024: CivMed Mobile Clinic
In partnership with TeleHelp Ukraine and Protect a Volunteer, Augustae Annia managed the security and daily operations of a mobile medical clinic serving a city on the eastern frontline. Through official partnership with the local Military Administration, the clinic connected residents with TeleHelp physicians working remotely from the United States for patient care and diagnostics. Our team provided medications prescribed by the physicians at no cost to the patients, and evacuated them to hospitals for emergency and specialist care when necessary. In addition, we arranged their long-term resettlement and transportation to safer areas of Ukraine if the patients agree to permanent evacuation.
We couldn’t do this work without you.
To all our amazing supporters around the world, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity. As we reach two and a half years of service in Ukraine this December, it’s because of you that we’ve made it this far.
Together, we’re making a real difference. Slava Ukraini!
