The significant challenges to support people who remain in Ukraine and those who migrated involves both international and community-based organisations.
HTB includes the following two online resources: one to donate unused medicines and the other to highlight a range of organisations that can benefit from direct financial support.
Sending unused meds to Ukraine: emergency appeal
The call for HIV and other meds, and medical supplies is still important. This is even though International agencies and drug manufacturers are also organising to meet this demand.
This project is led by EACS and BHIVA and supported by the UK-CAB.
Medicines need to be in original packaging, ideally in unopened packs. All HIV and related meds are acceptable, even if they are past the use-by date.
All donations will be screened beforehand to make sure they are suitable.
People in the UK can send these to:
HIV consultants, 5th Floor Mortimer Market Centre, London, WC1E 6JB.
The link page includes further details, including postal addresses in the UK, Europe and the US.
