Delivering Essential Medical Supplies and Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine
Abbey Solutions International’s Mission in Ukraine
At Abbey Solutions International, we have been partnering with Foundations and Major Donors to identify where funding can be best applied to ensure life-saving medical supplies and humanitarian aid reaches the people most in need in Ukraine—This has meant travelling to areas under constant Russian attack and sometimes within 10 miles of frontline positions.
Through strong partnerships with local NGOs, frontline medics, and hospitals, we deliver critical resources quickly and efficiently.

John Abbey coordinated the delivery of essential trauma supplies through the UK-based Medics to Medics team. This included:

Airway tubes
These supplies were critical for stabilising wounded civilians until they could be evacuated to hospitals.
May 2022 – Major Medical Delivery to Dnipro
John delivered a major shipment of medical equipment to City Hospital No. 4 in Dnipro, a trauma hub treating civilians and soldiers evacuated from the frontlines.

-
Celox haemostatic dressings to stop life-threatening bleeding in under 60 seconds.

Advanced trauma kits to enhance frontline surgical capacity.
August 2022 – Support for Hospitals and NGOs

May 2023 – Kherson Region Mission
Two additional 4×4 vehicles and more medical supplies were delivered to the Kherson region, supporting a UK-based group providing water, food, and building materials to villages devastated by shelling.
