Five Ambulances from Region Halland Now Operating in Ukraine

Help Ukraine Gothenburg is proud to announce a strengthened collaboration with Region Halland, which has resulted in the donation of five fully equipped ambulances to our organization. Several of these ambulances are now in active service in Kharkiv and the Poltava region, where the need for emergency medical transport remains acute.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukraine’s medical infrastructure has been under direct and repeated attack. According to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, 116 ambulances have been damaged, 274destroyed, and 80 seized by Russian forces. In total, over 2,300 medical facilities have been hit by missile strikes or shelling.

Ambulances have become one of the most critical components of Ukraine’s emergency response system. In areas where hospitals have been destroyed or are operating under extreme pressure, ambulances serve as mobile bridges between injury and care. Without them, access to urgent medical treatment often becomes impossible.

The contribution from Region Halland reflects not only material support but also the importance of sustained international cooperation to protect essential services under threat. These vehicles are now helping to restore critical capacity and protect life where it is most vulnerable.
