Hundreds of thousands of combined military and civilian casualties, frequent Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure, and systemic underfunding <\/a>of hospitals have posed significant challenges to those working in healthcare.

In Chernihiv, a city in the north of Ukraine near the border of Belarus and Russia, nurses organized through a grassroots network called Be Like We Are (formerly known as Be Like Nina) are calling on supporters throughout Ukraine and abroad to help fundraise for critical equipment at the Mykola Halytskyi Nizhyn Central City Hospital. In response, the U.S.-based Ukrainian NGO Kryla, with support from the Ukraine Solidarity Network<\/a>, has launched a campaign<\/a> to help fundraise for the beleaguered nurses, while attempting to strengthen relationships between unions in the U.S. and nurses organized in the Be Like We Are network.<\/p>\n
