Inside the Canada Ukraine Surgical Aid Program
Through the Canada Ukraine Surgical Aid Program (CUSAP), world-renowned doctors stand shoulder to shoulder with Ukrainian medical professionals, ensuring they have the tools and training to save lives and help shape the future of healthcare in Ukraine.
Canadian and Ukrainian doctors are working side by side under extraordinary circumstances. Through CUSAP’s educational missions, volunteer Canadian specialists provide advanced surgical training, mentorship, and hands-on collaboration that allows Ukrainian doctors to perform complex procedures and share this knowledge with colleagues across the country.
“They are operating under circumstances that we thankfully do not have to endure. This is a constant challenge for them, and yet they do a remarkable job.”
— Dr. Oleh Antonyshyn, MD FRCSC
Since the launch of its educational component, over 3,000 Ukrainian medical professionals have received specialized training.
Each mission strengthens Ukraine’s healthcare system and ensures that advanced surgical care can be delivered locally by local doctors.
“Their passion and commitment to learning and to their patients has been out of this world. I have met many surgeons here who are among the most eager learners I have ever encountered in my career.”
— Dr. David Choi, MD FRCSC
These missions are not only about teaching but also about mutual respect and inspiration.
Canadian doctors return home moved by the dedication of their Ukrainian colleagues.
Our training of Ukrainian surgeons allows them to provide these complex surgeries locally. And if we can do that, that’s making a real difference.”
— Dr. Danny Enepekides, MD MPH FRCSC
