Three Life-Saving Vehicles from Our Rotary Partners Are Now Saving Lives on the Frontlines

Dec 18, 2025

Thanks to the generous support of our partners in the Rotary Clubs of Gothenburg, three vehicles have made the journey from Sweden to Ukraine. Hug have transformed them into fully equipped life-saving vehicles that are now actively serving on the frontlines.

How We Transform Cars:

Each CASEVAC is equipped with everything medics need to save lives in combat conditions:

Autonomous heating systems for winter operations

220V power systems to run medical equipment

Adaptive LED lighting for field conditions

Secure stretcher mounting systems

Patient monitors and aspirators

Oxygen concentrators

Organized storage for medical supplies and medications

These aren't vehicles waiting in storage — they're out there right now, saving lives. All three CASEVACs are currently operating in active combat zones across Ukraine. One is serving in the Donbass region, where some of the most intense fighting is taking place and where rapid evacuation is absolutely critical — it's what determines who survives.

Why This Matters

When a soldier is wounded in combat, the "golden hour" determines survival. In that critical first hour, getting a wounded soldier from the battlefield to proper medical care is everything. But frontline areas often have destroyed roads, ongoing shelling, and terrain that ordinary ambulances simply cannot handle.

These specialized CASEVAC vehicles solve that problem. They can:

Reach casualties in areas regular ambulances cannot access

Provide immediate medical stabilization while still in the combat zone

Transport patients safely over rough terrain and damaged roads

Continue providing critical care during evacuation, even under fire

Every minute saved means a better chance of survival. Every piece of equipment means medics can do more to stabilize a patient before they reach a hospital. Every vehicle we deliver means more soldiers get the rapid help they desperately need.

We're deeply grateful to our partners in the Rotary Gothenburg for making this possible. This donation helps Ukrainian medics reach wounded soldiers faster and give them a real chance to survive.
