Medical group Hospitainer handed over a mobile field hospital to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (DPSU) to provide aid to soldiers. The Role II hospital will provide a low-temperature environment where wounded troops can receive urgent care. The Role II building includes an outpatient department, 36-bed isolation wards, and intensive care units. It is the ninth field hospital given by the Netherlands to the war-torn country. The hospital will be stationed in East Ukraine, where the country’s troops are engaged in combat in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war.
Hospitainer has delivered Primary Health Care mobile units to Ukraine in the past to give healthcare solutions to refugees. The group also built a semi-mobile hospital to take over the services of a war-damaged hospital. The company also worked alongside NGOs to send ambulances and healthcare trailers, as well as repairing clinics and hospitals damaged during the conflict.
In 2023, the Netherlands pledged 2.5 billion euros ($2.7 billion) of military aid to Ukraine, with around 20 percent going towards humanitarian aid and infrastructure rebuilding. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte added that reconstruction efforts will include rebuilding hospitals alongside housing and agricultural areas. Aside from financial aid, the country has also supported Ukraine with the investigation of human rights violations committed amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
