Health Matters Initiative

The Ukrainian people are living through a humanitarian catastrophe. On February 24, the country was attacked by Russian forces. Millions of lives were at risk. The escalation of violence has left countless people in need of medical assistance.

From day one of the invasion, Omnis accelerated support to meet immediate needs. Our team organized medical supplies to be sent to hospitals and refugee centers. We continue to work tirelessly to provide direct support to doctors and nurses throughout the country. Our established relationships with Baylor and Harvard Medical School among others allow us to continue our work.

Back in 2014, we launched the Health Matters Initiative to support hospitals with the resources they need. Between April 2014 and February 2015, at least 14,000 people were wounded as a result of the unrest in eastern Ukraine. With the recent crisis, hundreds more victims are being added daily, including children. So far, more than 800 children have been injured in Ukraine. That is children alone. And the numbers continue to rise. The kind of support we can provide is needed now more than ever.

Medical Supplies Program

We collect medical supplies and equipment from manufacturers, hospitals, and surplus to help doctors in Ukraine treat children and families in need and save their lives. Our coordinators and partners in Ukraine identify the needs of hospitals and distribute aid packages directly to treatment facilities across Ukraine.

Our program includes a pick-up service for donated supplies from participating facilities in the United States. We arrange the delivery directly to the Ukrainian hospitals. Our partners work closely with local doctors and staff to best track what resources are needed most to ensure that the demand is met. For the U.S. facilities that participate in our program, we send updates on how the relief supplies are being used.
