This program aimed to increase access to medical equipment and essential services for communities in Armenia, Georgia, and Ukraine. Our teams distributed more than $35 million in medical and non-medical supplies to underserved populations. We also trained more than 6,600 local healthcare providers and partnered with over 1,000 local organizations to improve pharmaceutical management and appropriate use of medicines. To ensure access to facilities, we completed 26 repair projects in health posts and hospitals, boarding schools, retirement homes, and orphanages, while also strengthening the water supply systems in rural communities.
