Beyond the Battlefield: Building Ukraine’s Medical Future 

How CUF’s Health Advisory Team brings hope, healing, and expertise to a country under siege

In the midst of war, the Canada-Ukraine Foundation’s Health Advisory Team (HAT) is shaping the future of medical care in Ukraine. 

Made up of Canada-Ukraine Foundation (CUF) board members and experienced health care professionals, HAT ensures that every medical mission and initiative we support is grounded in expertise and guided by compassion.

Throughout 2024, HAT reviewed countless proposals under the CUF-UCC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal (UHA), connecting with medical experts to ensure that every dollar and every resource goes where it is needed most.

HAT recognizes that knowledge saves lives. With CUF partners Razom for Ukraine and the Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA), the team enables nine Ukrainian trauma surgeons to attend the OTA’s annual conference in Montreal, where Ukraine was honoured as a guest nation for the first time.

These doctors shared expertise, built partnerships, and returned home with new tools to treat the growing needs of a country at war. 

From rehabilitation care to high-level international medical collaborations, HAT is building a bridge between urgent care today and the long-term medical future Ukraine deserves. 

Now through November 2, you can stand with the doctors, advisors, and communities who refuse to let war destroy Ukraine’s future.

Your gift will fuel surgical missions, deliver critical medical supplies, and support rehabilitation programs, enabling CUF to help Ukraine’s medical community heal not just the wounds of war, but also the future of a nation.
