Ukrainian Red Cross mobile health units continue reaching the most remote border villages in the Sumy region

Over the past week, the mobile health units:
- visited 57 villages;
- examined 989 patients;
- carried out 85 home visits for people with limited mobility;
- provided medical consultations for 32 children.
At present, 10 mobile health units are operating across the Sumy region.
