OAKVILLE, ON, CANADA, February 25, 2026 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — Health Partners International Canada (HPIC) has launched a new “Medicine for Ukraine” appeal, with a goal of raising $100,000. Every dollar donated will deliver $10 worth of medicine, meaning this campaign will provide $1 million in essential medical aid to those affected by the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

A recent HPIC field visit to Ukraine revealed that civilians there continue to face a severe lack of access to essential medicines. \u201cUkrainian health facilities continue to face immense pressure,\u201d said Lois Brown, President of HPIC. \u201cCritical shortages of essential medicines continue, and we cannot stop sending life-saving medical aid and supplies to the desperate people in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the United Nations, nearly 13 million people in Ukraine urgently need humanitarian assistance as displacement, psychological trauma, and the destruction of essential services continue to take a devastating toll. Existing aid programs are at risk of being scaled back, potentially leaving millions without food, healthcare, or shelter.<\/p>\n

Since the onset of the war in 2022, HPIC has worked closely with trusted partners in Ukraine to provide essential treatments for patients affected by ongoing violence and displacement. Over the past four years, HPIC has shipped approximately $30 million<\/a> in medicines and medical aid including wound-care supplies, antibiotics, pain relievers, and emergency care products for trauma and chronic conditions. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe commitment of HPIC and our partners to continue to support the people of Ukraine is a beacon of hope in these challenging times,\u201d added Lois Brown. \u201cIt\u2019s a reminder that every bit of help counts and can make a significant difference in someone\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n
