284 soldiers injured in the war in Ukraine have been treated at the East Hospital
For the 14th time, the Riga East University Hospital (East Hospital) has welcomed soldiers who were severely injured in the war in Ukraine, brought back by a relief bus organised by the M-Help.com charity project. This time, 18 severely wounded soldiers made the long journey to Latvia. Since the beginning of the war initiated by Russia, 284 Ukrainian soldiers have already been admitted to the East Hospital, including 60 soldier at the Rehabilitation Clinic.
The East Hospital has been actively involved in the treatment and rehabilitation of Ukrainian soldiers injured in war since 2022. Patients were welcomed by a multidisciplinary team of physicians and nursing staff from the Emergency Medicine and Patient Admission Clinic (NMPUK), Clinic of Traumatology and Orthopedics, Clinic of General and Emergency Surgery, and the Department of Hand and Plastic Surgery.
All patients underwent a comprehensive health screening – various laboratory tests, including the possible presence of multidrug-resistant infections, as they can quickly flare up and spread in war.
After the examinations at the Emergency Medicine and Patient Admission Clinic, several patients were transferred to other medical facilities in Latvia to continue the recovery process, after assessing their health condition and the severity of their injuries.
Patients affected by the war in Ukraine are brought to the East Hospital due to a private initiative of the founders of the charity project M-Help.com, Arvis Rekets and Mārtiņš Medinieks. The Charitable Foundation of Georgy Logvinsky, which operates in Ukraine, has equipped and rebuilt a bus to transport these patients.
