Hanna Dudnyk, MSF emergency doctor, examines, Svitlana, 67, who was brought to the emergency room by ambulance with complaints of loss of consciousness, and severe pain.

"Svitlana was already treated at this hospital with the same symptoms, but she needs more extensive diagnostics than this hospital can provide. We can see that the patient has lost a significant amount of weight in four months, which is alarming. But, of course, the hospital will provide all the necessary medical care here and now to stabilise the woman's condition," said Hanna Dudnyk.

This is far from an isolated case in Mykolaiv region, in the south of Ukraine. People are admitted to hospital with complex conditions, stabilised, and recommended for further examination, but they are often unable to travel to hospital in nearest city like Mykolaiv due to financial difficulties, limited mobility, and fear of leaving their homes due to the possibility of shelling.
