The Munich Hub, thanks to Julia Amtmann's connections to the Munich City Council and Karolina Inhinova's connections to the Ukrainian Ministry of Health, the City Council donated €100,000 to our project Medical Aid To Ukraine! With that and the €2,900 we raised on GoFundMe, we bought anesthetics, fake skin and essential medicines from a list from the Deputy Minister of EU Integration Oleksii Iaremenko himself. Once it arrives in government warehouses, the Ukrainian government will distribute it to hospitals where doctors like Lviv Shaper Roman Smolynets will be able to use it!
Problem Statement: Hospitals in Ukraine are running out of critical surgical medicine and equipment and they need humanitarian aid. In partnership with the Frankfurt Hub, this hub project aims to transport the needed goods to the Ukrainian border working together with the hub project Europe Cares. The goods would then be received by the Ukrainian Military and the Shapers from the Lviv Hub, with consulting from Kyiv Hub. Proposed Solution: Working with transportation companies, Munichs plan to delive prescription-only medicine to Lviv. There are five warehouses in and around the city where the products will be delivered to, depending on timing, volume and space.
Target Group: The Ukrainian Ministry of Health. They will then determine which to hospitals the medicine will be sent.
