The Canadian surgical program has the resources and expertise to take on patients in Ukraine who would otherwise be denied care because of the complexity of their injuries
Months of preparation go into each mission to ensure the deployments are properly staffed and equipped.“Those suffering have absolutely no one to turn to. Ukraine is at absolute capacity,” Dr. Antonyshyn said.
The cost of the Russian invasion increases for Ukraine every day; for example, casualties from the missile attack on a residential house in Dnipro on just one day in January included 44 dead and 80 wounded. Twenty-five-hundred wounded Ukrainians have been transported to different hospitals in Europe and elsewhere since the beginning of the war, according to Ukraine’s ministry of healthAs Russian attacks continue, the medical needs in Ukraine have outstripped what local doctors can provide.
“Several years ago, most of our patients were veterans, now, the increasing number of patients are civilians. The types of wounds we are seeing reflect the scale of war and are much more severe,” said Dr. Antonyshyn. “Over the years, the team of plastic surgeons, nurses and anesthesiologists volunteered their time and skills to help 286 patients. It would cost over $60-million to do these types of surgeries in Canada,” said chair of CUF Victor Hetmanczuk.
The Canadian team hopes to move their surgical missions back to Ukraine as soon as it is safe. They are also looking to expand operations to other required specialties, such as neurosurgery and pediatric care.
