The Kvitna Charitable Foundation has conducted free breast cancer screenings for more than 2,000 women over the five months of its Mobile Medical Platform.
According to the foundation’s press release, the mobile medical platform project began operating in May 2023. As part of the project, visitors can receive a free medical examination and consultation.
“The idea of creating a mobile medical platform has been around since the beginning of the full-scale war. This initiative is relevant for providing medical care to people in the destroyed regions, in settlements with many internally displaced persons, as well as in those cities and towns where there is simply no access to medical examination,” the foundation reports.
In addition, the foundation has purchased equipment and reagents worth more than UAH 1.5 million for the National Cancer Institute (NCR), and has implemented more than 40 awareness-raising campaigns.
The mobile medical platform is a converted room on wheels specially designed for medical purposes. Its autonomy is ensured by its own power generator to provide comfortable conditions for visitors. The platform is connected to the Starlink network to ensure constant communication.
Inside there are two rooms, a bathroom and a refrigerator for storing medicines. The platform is equipped with an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus with a set of sensors for various examinations, including ultrasound of the thyroid gland, breast, abdominal organs, pelvic organs, etc.
