“Chemotherapy in Ukraine continues despite war. In Kharkiv, organizations like Mission Kharkiv have taken on the task of getting cancer drugs to the people who need them most.” – Direct Relief, May 2023

We are honored to have our work featured by Direct Relief, one of the world’s leading humanitarian medical organizations.

In their May 2023 article, they highlighted the daily realities faced by cancer patients and medical workers in wartime Ukraine – from destroyed oncology hospitals to logistical breakdowns in medicine supply. The article specifically recognizes Mission Kharkiv as a trusted local partner who ensures continuity of treatment, even when the health system is under siege.

The piece explains how our team:

• Delivered cancer medications to patients in Kharkiv after the regional hospital was damaged;
• Built secure pharma storage solutions to protect temperature-sensitive drugs from blackouts and shelling;
• Worked hand-in-hand with local oncologists to prevent treatment interruptions;
• Maintains focus on patients’ dignity, safety, and survival under extreme conditions.

“When hospitals can no longer deliver chemotherapy, NGOs like Mission Kharkiv step in — not only with supplies, but with trust.” – Direct Relief

This international recognition is a reflection not only of our work, but of the resilience of Ukrainian doctors, patients, and communities we serve. It also speaks to the power of global solidarity – and what becomes possible when local organizations and international partners join forces.
