Ukrainian nurses call for continued solidarity in the face of unrelenting attacks
by Kris Parker
Ukraine’s healthcare system is pushed to its limits, Kris Parker explains. Hundreds of thousands of combined military and civilian casualties, frequent Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure, and systemic underfunding of hospitals have posed significant challenges to those working in healthcare. The U.S.-based Ukrainian NGO Kryla, with support from the Ukraine Solidarity Network, has launched a campaign to help fundraise for Ukrainian nurses, while attempting to strengthen relationships between unions in the U.S. and nurses organized in the Be Like We Are network.
