[...]to ensure that those with chronic illnesses do not suffer, health-care services must secure continuity of care during and after their journey. [...]we urge all countries aiding Ukraine to include support for the needs of the Ukrainian health system in the context of conflict by providing needed medicines, equipment, and any particular health needs as identified by the Ukrainian Government,10 and ask Russia to allow unimpeded supply.
