UKRAINE | Medicalised train hospital

In late March, MSF began developing and converting a train to evacuate critical referral patients from frontline hospitals in the east of Ukraine. As of 6 June, 653 patients (as well as relatives) have been transported to healthcare facilities in safer parts of western Ukraine. Journeys on board this ‘highly medicalised’ train usually take 20 to 30 hours, during which time patients are cared for by a team of experienced doctors and nurses. More than 40 percent of war-wounded patients have been children or elderly people – the majority with blast injuries, followed by shrapnel and gunshot wounds. At least 10 percent have lost one or more limbs to a traumatic amputation, the youngest patient being just six years old. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare.
