Canadian doctors, nurses provide medical aid to Ukrainian refugees in Poland

March 31/2022

A group of nurses and doctors from Canada are working to provide medical assistance for Ukrainian refugees who have fled their homes as the war with Russia continues.

The group is stationed in Poland at a checkpoint where refugees are being provided with medical care and warm meals once they cross the border.

The small team of nurses, doctors and translators are providing initial care and assessments for those who’ve had to leave everything behind.

Dr. Anthony Fong (FGJ ’22), an emergency physician from Vancouver, B.C., said the Canadian Medical Assistance Teams (CMAT) is a humanitarian organization that helps provide disaster relief.
