In January 2025 our co-founders Dr Rachel Clarke and Henry Marsh paid another visit to Ukraine. Along with our third co-founder, Ukrainian consultant neurosurgeon Dr Andrii Myzak, Rachel headed to a field hospital on the frontline, a few kilometres from Ukraine’s eastern front. It was remarkable to see first-hand what these amazing medics are doing to help Ukraine’s wounded soldiers.

Rachel has written an extremely informative and moving article for The Guardian newspaper, detailing the terrible conditions these medics are working under, and the horrors that Ukrainian soldiers face every single day. Click on button below to read her article.
