Estonia donates ambulances and medical equipment in humanitarian aid shipment to Ukraine

Estonia has provided Ukraine with additional humanitarian aid by supplying five fully equipped ambulances and essential medical equipment.

ERR reports this.

As the publication notes, the list includes ambulances, as well as the following additional equipment:

• electric aspirators;
• defibrillators;
• equipment for dispensing and administering medication;
• a stretcher;
• vacuum medical mattresses, among others.

Raul Adlas, the chief doctor of the Tallinn Ambulance Service, stated that Tallinn has dispatched 11 fully equipped ambulances to Ukraine since the start of the war.

Tallinn Ambulance actively used the transferred vehicles until 2023, but new ones were purchased last year to replace them.

For reference:

It should be noted that the Tallinn Children's Hospital Aid Fund has received a targeted donation of 60,000 euros from Estonian citizens to help restore the Ukrainian "Okhmatdyt" Children's Hospital. The fundraising effort is still ongoing.

Also, between 2024 and 2027, Estonia plans to provide an additional 56 million euros for over ten projects in the Zhytomyr region, which include:

• the restoration of an art school in Malyn,
• the construction of a shelter for seven orphanages,
• and the reconstruction of a building for housing internally displaced persons in Ovruch.

In addition, capsules were used to construct three family-style children's homes in the Zhytomyr region.

Furthermore, Estonia plans to donate 400,000 euros to Ukraine's Energy Support Fund, bringing their total contribution to the Fund to 450,000 euros. The total combined contributions from listed and declared sponsors amount to over 495 million euros.
