Additional Information / Shotlist Elderly patients who live near the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine, can find it difficult to access health services, due to shortages of doctors, functioning health facilities and affordable transport. Since April 2020, MSF has been supporting the local health authorities in Donetsk region by providing home-based care, by transporting COVID-19 samples for testing, and by providing refresher training for health workers on infection prevention and control and the use of personal protective equipment. MSF mobile teams also assess whether patients need to go to hospital based on the severity of their condition and conduct follow-up visits for patients who need further medical care.
