Description
MSF medical teams were able to deliver a three-month supply of essential medicines to three villages under Ukrainian government control in Kherson during a temporary ceasefire agreement between October 27 and November 1.
Our teams had previously suspended visits to the villages of Muzykivka, Petrivka, and Bohdanivka, where around 4,000 people live some eight miles from the front line under threat of drone attacks. Our staff have remained in contact with health care workers in these villages, providing remote consultations and medical advice. During the ceasefire, they were able to bring much-needed painkillers, antibiotics, and medicines for chronic conditions, including for high blood pressure, diabetes, and ischaemic heart disease.
