Region Halland Donates Three Ambulances to Support Ukraine’s Emergency Healthcare

On November 12th, Region Halland donated three ambulances to Help Ukraine Göteborg (HUG). The vehicles will now be transported to Ukraine, where they will be used in areas severely affected by Russian aggression to strengthen life-saving care on the ground.

Thanks to their previous support, HUG has been able to send ambulances, medical equipment, medicines, and essential supplies to hospitals and stabilization points across Ukraine. This is a strong example how Sweden continues to make a significant impact in the humanitarian crisis.

The scale of destruction to Ukraine’s medical infrastructure is immense. As of November 2025, according to regional health departments and the Kyiv City Military Administration, 2,530 medical facilities within 815 healthcare institutions have been damaged or destroyed. Russian aggression has completely destroyed 327 facilities belonging to 125 healthcare institutions.

Ambulances have become critically important to Ukraine’s emergency system. In areas where hospitals have been destroyed or are overwhelmed, ambulances serve as a vital link between injured civilians and medical care. Without them, many people simply cannot reach life-saving treatment in time. Each donated ambulance means countless lives can be saved.

The need remains urgent. HUG is currently running a fundraiser with the goal of delivering 10 ambulances to Ukraine – and thanks to the support of our Swedish partners, we are now one step closer to reaching it.

Thank you to Region Halland and to everyone in Sweden who continues to stand by Ukraine’s side.
