Yesterday, on 22\u00a0May\u00a02025, the Riga East Clinical University Hospital (East Hospital) once again joined forces with the charity project M-Help.com\u00a0\u2013 this day marked the 26th<\/sup>\u00a0arrival of severely injured Ukrainian soldiers in the war started by Russia. 33\u00a0war victims have made the long journey to Latvia\u2019s largest hospital this time.<\/strong> Overall, the East Hospital has already admitted 537\u00a0patients brought from Ukraine since the outbreak of the war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The bus carrying Ukrainian soldiers was received by the Ukraine\u2019s authorized ambassador to the Republic of Latvia, Anatolii Kutsevol<\/strong>, along with other hospital and embassy representatives.<\/p>\n

Even late in the evening, patients were admitted to the East Hospital by a multi-disciplinary medical team comprised by various specialists and nursing staff from the Emergency Medicine and Patient Admission Clinic (EMPAC).<\/p>\n

Treating war-injured patients at the East Hospital is a collective effort, involving physicians from many different specialties, such as traumatologists, surgeons, microsurgeons, infectious disease specialists, physical and rehabilitation medicine physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, radiologists, and laboratory specialists. Since Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine, which in reality began in 2014, microsurgeons have also been actively involved in treating war-related injuries. As part of a multidisciplinary team, they have already performed more than 150\u00a0reconstructive surgeries on Ukrainian soldiers at the East Hospital.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All patients arriving from Ukraine underwent a thorough health evaluation at the EMPAC, including various laboratory tests and the examination for the possible presence of multidrug-resistant infections, as they can rapidly emerge and spread in wartime conditions. Several injured patients underwent additional radiological examinations by specialists in the Emergency Radiology Department to determine the specifics of their injuries.<\/p>\n

A soldier who sustained extremely severe war injuries will continue treatment at the Trauma and Orthopaedics Clinic under the care of surgeons Andris Vikmanis and Kristi\u0101na Alpe.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, other patients will be transferred to other healthcare facilities in Latvia, depending on the nature of their injuries, after being examined at the EMPAC: the Vaivari National Rehabilitation Centre, the Jaun\u0137emeri Rehabilitation Centre, and the L\u012bgatne Rehabilitation Centre for long-term rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

It is the private initiative by the founders of the charity project M-Help.com, Arvis Rekets and M\u0101rti\u0146\u0161 Medinieks, that made it possible to transport the patients affected by the war in Ukraine to the East Hospital. Meanwhile, the Georgy Logvinsky Charity Foundation in Ukraine has equipped and renovated a bus used for the transportation of these patients.<\/p>\n
