Ukrainian Relief Fund (Dr Andriy Boyko)
Donation protected
Please check out our online auction of items donated for this cause to support the Ukrainian relief fund here.
Dr Andriy Boyko, a Ukrainian born Australian Doctor, will be travelling to Europe to provide critical medical support and rapid medical response supplies to Ukrainians affected by the current conflict.
Dr Boyko previously worked in refugee health on Christmas Island and with Australian refugee resettlement programs. Using his local knowledge and Ukrainian contacts Dr Boyko has organised a medical supply chain through Europe to safely bring medicine and essential medical needs to Ukrainians in need. The funds will be exclusively used for medical supplies and humanitarian assistance. As a result of local knowledge and contacts he is able to react quickly to the dynamic needs of the situation responding to most urgent needs of the local health sector.
Through his involvement he hopes "to use the unique set of personal and professional skills to provide most appropriate aid to minimise any further trauma and loss of life to the Ukrainian people who are caught in this unprovoked conflict.”
About Dr Andriy Boyko
