| 12:30 PM | KYIV | – Chris Catrambone, US entrepreneur and founder of MOAS; – Igor Shekhtman, director of MOAS; – Dr Inna Dymeter, MOAS doctor; – Yuri Sroka, MOAS critical care nurse; – Justin Marozzi, UK writer and co-editor of MOAS book; – Iryna Savchuk, Ukrainian journalist and co-editor of MOAS book; | – a panel discussion and a book presentation for Sirens of Hope: The MOAS Mission to Save Lives in Ukraine. Topics of focus: – How has an entirely privately funded initiative emerged as the key evacuator of critically injured soldiers in Ukraine? – How did MOAS get involved in Ukraine? – What kinds of injuries are the medics seeing? – How is combat medicine changing? – What more can be done to support such a vital medical service? – How can the outside world help? Why this is interesting: The largest provider of emergency evacuation services to the armed forces of Ukraine, launches its new Ukrainian-language book, Sirens of Hope: The MOAS Mission to Save Lives in Ukraine. The book, designed and produced in Kyiv, tells the personal stories of the remarkable Ukrainian medics in their own words. For reference: MOAS, the international humanitarian non-governmental organization, has been working in Ukraine since the start of the war and has now saved more than 45,000 lives. It employs 150 teams of all-Ukrainian medics in 50 ambulances supplied with state-of-the-art life-saving equipment. MOAS receives no government funding and relies entirely on fundraising to keep its operation costing USD 1 million a month on the road. |
