Quick Supplies to Lviv
The Ukraine Medical Relief Fund has been very busy as of late, doing a lot of outreach and making connections, fundraising, as well as responding to requests from Ukrainian hospitals for medications and supplies, and organizing shipments. Recently, a volunteer traveling to Poland offered to carry a suitcase with donated medications for us – and how could we turn that down?
Last week, the suitcase was picked up in Poland and arrived to Dr. Tetyana Nehrych, child neurologist at the Lviv Regional Clinical Hospital. The shipment included anti-seizure medications levetiracetam, divalproex, and topiramate, as well as other supplies.

Tablets of levetiracetam 500 mg (a commonly used anti-seizure medication) delivered to Lviv Regional Clinical Hospital.
Bandages and wound care supplies were also sent.
Overall, this was a shipment weighing 25.4 lbs (11.5 kg). The inventory of the shipment is as follows:
