Updates From The Respond Ukrainian & Russian Teams

• The Ukrainian team supported the translation of medical documents for a refugee in their 20's from Ukraine with a brain tumor. He desperately needed his medical history translated in order to get medical care from a neurosurgeon in the UK. The Ukrainian team turned his documents around within 36 hours, and he was able to connect with his neurosurgeon!

• Nearly 15 volunteers worked for 1.5 weeks on deciphering and translating 15 pages of 10 medical records, containing mostly handwritten text in a mix of Russian and Ukrainian languages. The request was for a little Ukrainian refugee boy who already went through numerous surgeries and who's doctor cannot be contacted anymore. It was an incredible team work with each volunteer adding a piece to the puzzle.

• The Ukrainian team has translated 60 pages of supporting documents for asylum cases including utility bills, birth death and marriage certificates, passports, articles, and witness statements.

• The team translated a list of urgent medications needed in Kharkiv for civilians currently being bombarded.

• The Ukrainian and Russian teams partnered with the National Pediatric Hypnosis Training Institute to make their website with key medical information for children and mothers available to Ukrainian refugees.

• The Ukrainian, Russian, German, Slovak, Romanian teams created and translated an allergies and medical conditions glossary for use at the Polish/Ukrainian border to facilitate the creation of multilingual allergy and medical conditions cards for Ukrainians fleeing their homes.

• The Ukrainian and Russian teams translated a letter from Johnson&Johnson to accompany emergency medical supplies being sent into Kharkiv.

• The Ukrainian and Russian teams translated informational cards to accompany emergency obstetric medical supplies sent to Ukraine to support pregnant women and babies through the labor process.
