Our goal

We focus on prompt delivery of medical aid to the civilian paramedics tending the injured in Ukraine.

What is the problem

More and more Ukrainian civilians are suffering because of ongoing brutal attacks. Many of them are severely wounded and require immediate medical help in order to survive.  

Due to the lack of vehicles and medical resources, 80+ Hospitallers’ members out of 300 are not equipped well to treat the injured and evacuate them fast enough.

How to solve it

We have joined forces with all the individuals who are willing to donate money, transport, and medicines for the sake of every life.  

Donations allow us to supply vital necessities directly to the Ukrainian paramedics in the shortest period. Hospitallers regularly receive pickup trucks and ambulances packed with medical equipment, humanitarian and emergency first aid.

Raising funds is key to saving more human lives!

Our mission

Our paramedics witnessed the Bucha massacre outcome first-hand and provided first aid help to civilians while other organizations considered the city too dangerous to enter. Our paramedics don’t do politics, they save lives!

Hospitallers Ukraine Aid exists to provide support to Hospitallers Ukraine, a voluntary organization of paramedics, in order to help them to save lives through emergency treatment of the seriously wounded.

Hospitallers Ukraine Aid was set up to meet a need for an agile response that is difficult for the larger aid agencies.  We provide vehicles and medical equipment ‘on demand’ direct to those who need them.  We are proud to be able to deliver aid in under 72 hours with no central bureaucracy, costs, or administrative hurdles.

The Ukrainian paramedics we support are not generally medical professionals.  They are volunteers from all walks of life, just like you, who have undergone a short intensive training program, and now work 24/7 in the most demanding of environments, often putting their own lives at risk to save others.

Hospitallers Ukraine Aid funds are not transferred outside the UK or distributed via third parties. 100% of funds are spent directly on emergency aid products (excluding drugs) which are then delivered to the Ukrainian border by our own volunteers and partners, all in strict accordance with our charity mandate.

Our paramedics continue to deliver vital medical assistance to both people and animals in the affected regions of Ukraine.

Hospitallers team story

Hospitallers is a civilian force of paramedics founded in 2014 by medical volunteer Yana Zinkevych. Since then and until now Hospitallers are operating in Ukrainian "for the sake of every life", as per their motto. 

Hospitallers are first to help the wounded: provide first medical aid and evacuate to the hospital. They also give post-hospital support and rehabilitation to people and their families. As of today, medical crews have already completed more than 3000 evacuations.

But their work extends beyond people. They believe every life matters, including the animals left behind in challenging conditions. That’s why Hospitallers are constantly concerned about the lives and well-being of every animal they encounter during evacuation missions and strive to provide them with as much help as possible.

Hospitallers is a non-state organization which means that their collaboration with volunteers and your donations is the only support they receive. With your help, Hospitallers have already been able to equip some paramedics but more assistance is needed.

Every donation may save someone's life
