Abstract
Global Care Force, an international health nongovernmental organization, sent teams of physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and nurse practitioners every month to Ukraine to provide primary care for war-affected communities. I had the opportunity to partner with GCF in May 2024 during its monthly mission trip to this conflict-ravaged country. I described this medical outreach initiative in a first-person narrative in order to relay to a wider audience the realities of warfare for Ukrainian patients and health care workers. Our team treated chronic diseases in northern as well as southern Ukrainian villages near the front line near Kherson. We set up mobile medical clinics in these regions and delivered medications to patients suffering from blast injuries, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and posttraumatic stress disorder.
