Samaritan's Purse Deploys Emergency Field Hospital to Ukraine <\/h1>\r\n \r\n

Boone, N.C., March 3, 2022—<\/strong>As conflict in Ukraine escalates, Samaritan\u2019s Purse is deploying an Hospital M\u00f3vil de Emergencias<\/a> to the region to meet the critical medical needs. Disaster response specialists have been on the ground in Poland, Romania and Moldova since last week conducting rapid needs assessments and preparing a strategic response.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

Tomorrow, the international Christian relief organization will airlift an Emergency Field Hospital and a team of disaster response specialists\u2014including doctors, nurses, and additional support staff—to Poland on its DC-8 aircraft. The field hospital will then be transported to Ukraine where it will provide specialized trauma care to people impacted by the conflict. This unit will have the capacity to treat more than 100 patients each day, and it will be made up of 30 in-patient beds, an operating room and Intensive Care Unit (ICU).<\/p>\r\n \r\n

A 747 cargo plane will depart next week, carrying additional components of the Emergency Field Hospital and the equipment to establish two additional medical clinics. These clinics will be deployed to areas receiving an influx of refugees. Assessment teams continue to work to identify the most strategic locations for these units. These health clinics will equip Samaritan\u2019s Purse medical staff to meet minor trauma needs and provide general medical care for some 200 patients each day.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

“Ukrainian families are hurting and in desperate need of physical aid and prayer during this difficult time,”<\/i> dijo Franklin Graham<\/a>, el presidente de Samaritan's Purse. “We are deploying life-saving medical care to aid people who are suffering. We want to meet the needs of these families in their darkest moments while pointing them to the light and hope of Jesus Christ.”<\/i><\/p>\r\n \r\n
