Bridging Gaps in Healthcare: LIPPA’s Partnership with STEP IN in Kharkiv

In times of crisis and war, access to consistent, quality healthcare can mean the difference between stability and suffering. In Kharkiv, Ukraine, where war has disrupted medical services, the need for urgent, mobile healthcare has never been greater. That’s why LIPPA is proud to support STEP IN’s mobile medical team, ensuring that essential medical care reaches the people who need it most—internally displaced individuals, older adults, and those with chronic conditions.

Delivering Critical Care Where It’s Needed Most

Every day, the STEP IN mobile medical team, composed of doctors, nurses, coordinators, and lab technicians, sets out to deliver life-saving care and medications to those who would otherwise go without. With LIPPA’s financial support, this initiative has made a direct impact, ensuring that:

Medications for chronic illnesses like hypertension, diabetes, and respiratory conditions are provided at no cost, preventing life-threatening complications.
Home visits for bedridden and severely ill patients guarantee that even the most vulnerable individuals receive professional medical attention.
LIPPA funds adult diapers for immobile patients, which eases the burden on caregivers and improves the dignity, comfort, and hygiene of those in need.

Beyond Medicine: A Commitment to Dignity and Stability

For those living in conflict-affected areas, the struggle isn’t just about getting medical treatment—it’s about finding stability amid chaos. LIPPA’s contribution doesn’t just fund medications and essential supplies; it relieves financial pressure on families, reduces hospitalizations, and ensures that no one is left behind.

“The families of patients served by our mobile medical team are grateful for the diapers. Supplying these essential items supports many caregivers tending to elderly or bedridden relatives who remained behind.”
— Hanna Martynets, STEP IN Doctor, Kharkiv
