The agreements with the Public Union "Association of Operators and Instructors of First Aid and Tactical Medicine" provide for methodological assistance in the development of tactical medicine at all levels - both for medical personnel and the rest of the military. The parties also agreed to assist in the development and implementation of digital solutions in the field of medical support for troops and training.

The MOAS-Ukraine Foundation in coordination with the Medical Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will continue to assist with the medical evacuation of the seriously wounded.  

For us, the signing of the memorandum with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is a welcome and long-awaited event that will help consolidate efforts and resources, coordinate and coordinate actions during the evacuation of the severely wounded and, ultimately, significantly strengthen military medicine.

- said Igor Shekhtman, Director of the Foundation.

The Super People Charitable Foundation will help develop the rehabilitation of the wounded. In particular, this involves establishing new prosthetics and rehabilitation centers in the regions of Ukraine together with the Ministry of Defense and introducing new educational programs and technologies.

We have a common goal: to restore servicemen and women injured in combat. Our servicemen and women need quality services and access to the latest medical technologies. And we are happy to continue working with the Ministry of Defense in this direction.

- emphasized Olga Rudneva, head of the foundation. 

According to the Deputy Minister of Defense, international partners are open to sharing their experience and investing in the education of medical personnel.
