Mobile Medical Teams Reach Frontline Communities in Ukraine
Medical teams in Ukraine from the organization, FRIDA, conducted four multidisciplinary missions over the past month, reaching some of the country’s hardest-hit and underserved communities.
The mobile health missions operated in areas as close as five miles from conflict areas, where shelling remains frequent and access to basic services like gas and water remains limited. In each village, residents lined up with their families — many traveling from neighboring communities — to receive care that has been unavailable for months or longer.
Across the missions, clinicians provided mobile gynecology, dentistry, and a wide range of diagnostic services, delivering more than 3,484 medical interventions, including ultrasounds and other critical screening tests for health conditions. Several patients were identified for urgent follow-up care.
Direct Relief provided critical medications and supplies to support the medical outreach, including antibiotics, chronic disease management medications, and more.
Medical Aid Continues for Flooded Areas of Mexico
Severe flooding and landslides triggered by Hurricane Priscilla devastated parts of Puebla and Hidalgo earlier this year, isolating mountain communities and disrupting access to essential care. Washed-out roads, damaged infrastructure, and continued rainfall have slowed recovery, leaving responders working with limited resources in hard-to-reach areas.
In support of these efforts, Direct Relief, in collaboration with the nonprofit, Medical Impact, has deployed field medic packs to first responders and volunteer medical teams operating in the hardest-hit communities, including Huauchinango in the Sierra Norte of Puebla and villages across the Otomí-Tepehua region of Hidalgo.
The packs contain trauma supplies, essential medicines, and diagnostic tools that enable responders to stabilize patients where clinics remain inaccessible. Additional assistance has included more than one million units of medical and hygiene supplies, diagnostic items for affected health facilities, and flexible emergency funding for local partners.
Direct Relief continues to coordinate with local authorities and protection agencies to provide requested medical supplies and support ongoing needs.
