Those who save lives: stories of Ukrainian medics about the war
Ukrainian medical workers are real heroes who without a doubt sacrifice their own safety and are ready to give their lives to save others. From the first days of the war, they accept cruel challenges and help people despite risks and losses.
They provide surgeries under fire in semi-darkness. They deliver babies in dirty and cold basements. They take the wounded out of the battlefield. And they bring people back from the other world, resolutely standing between the patient and death. Ukrainian medics do everything possible and impossible so that the hearts of Ukrainians and Ukraine continue to beat. They save lives and bring Victory closer.
Some medics entrusted their stories to the Museum of Civilian Voices of the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation. Especially for Medical Worker's Day, the Museum gathered the stories in a separate collection.
