How we work

Thanks to tremendous support of our partners and the project model,
$1 of your donations enables us to ship to Ukraine
$25-27 of medical equipment and supplies.
Process preparing for a new shipment
1
Project CURE, our supply partner, collects surplus medical supplies and equipment from hospitals in different areas of the USA, and stocks them in their warehouses.
2
Our volunteer, certified by Project CURE, goes to Ukraine and performs in-person assessment of Ukrainian recipient hospitals’ needs. The volunteer works with the head doctors and business managers of recipient hospitals to ensure that the hospitals have trained MDs and existing infrastructure to work with the medical equipment provided by our non-profit.
3
“Support Hospitals in Ukraine” raises $25,000 per container to fund operational expenses.
4
Upon receipt of the funds, Project CURE packs a 40-ft container by matching receiving hospital’s request (compiled by a certified volunteer in conjunction with senior receiving hospital staff) and inventory on hand.
5
Once the supplies are selected, the final packing list is sent to the customs broker of our registered partner non-profit in Ukraine, who uses it to get humanitarian aid duty-free designation for the contents of the container from the Ukrainian government.
6
The container is shipped by sea, clears customs duty-free in Ukraine, and is released to the recipient hospitals. Hospitals’ officials sign receipt paperwork. A volunteer from “Support Hospitals in Ukraine” goes to each recipient hospital to ensure proper equipment transfer and ongoing follow-up.
