Ukrainian Red Cross mobile health units continue providing primary health care in remote communities of the Ternopil region
Ukrainian Red Cross mobile health units continue to visit remote communities across the Ternopil region, providing primary health care services to people who face difficulties accessing healthcare facilities.
What services do the mobile health units provide during their visits?
- Primary health assessment and basic diagnostics: measuring blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, blood glucose levels, and performing electrocardiograms (ECGs).
- Medical consultations: assessing patients’ health, providing medical advice, and prescribing basic treatment where appropriate.
- Referral for further care: when more complex health conditions are identified, medical staff promptly refer patients to the appropriate specialists or secondary healthcare facilities for further assessment and treatment.
- The mobile health units work in close cooperation with local primary healthcare centres, complementing the work of local healthcare professionals and bringing essential health services closer to people.
The mobile health units in the Ternopil region operate with the support of the Norwegian Red Cross.
These visits are about more than providing healthcare services — they are an expression of care, humanity and support.
We stand by those in need.
