In 2023, PAL-UA recognized the urgent need to address not only the urgent medical problems faced by frontline communities, but also the lack of access to primary health care services. Mobile clinics are becoming the only way to get medical care for thousands of people who do not have the physical or financial means to travel outside their region to receive the necessary medical care and psychological support, which is especially important for people who have experienced the traumatic experience of war.

One of the first and main regions where PAL-UA deployed mobile clinics was Donbas, in particular in cities such as Toretsk, Maryinka, Zalizne, where residents faced significant problems in accessing medical care. These mobile clinics not only provided basic medical services, but also served as a point of contact for residents who needed help, information and support. Operating in local surgeries, homes, and even basements, PAL-UA mobile clinics have become a lifeline for residents of frontline communities. Equipped with the most essential medical supplies and staffed by qualified medical workers, our clinics provided a wide range of services, including blood pressure measurements, vital signs monitoring, treatment recommendations, and medication delivery.

The PAL-UA team then realized the importance of expanding mobile clinics across the frontline.
