"Telemedicine's Role in Ukraine and Beyond"
The ongoing fight for Ukraine instigated by Russia's invasion has wrought immeasurable damage to the people of Ukraine and the world at large. The war has displaced millions across Europe and has contributed to an appalling level of casualties as Russian aggression continues. Many Ukrainians have been killed; others have sustained serious injuries from indiscriminate shelling of their cities, including attacks on hospitals, homes, and churches. Survivors face a crippling lack of medications and medical equipment because the war has cut off supply chains. With support from around the globe pouring in through mechanisms such as humanitarian aid and increasing economic pressure on Russia, some healthcare professionals have found a unique avenue for aiding the Ukrainian populace through remote communication.CTeL, an organization dedicated to the development and support of telehealth, has founded an initiative called Telehealth4Ukraine by forming a task force made up of dozens of experts and KOLs in the telehealth field. Their task is to increase accessibility to telemedicine for the people of Ukraine, while navigating complex logistics and policy issues inherent in offering advice and care from thousands of miles away. The 18th New York Health Forum is dedicated to highlighting their ongoing efforts and raises the question of how the development of aid under current extraordinary circumstances can serve as robust infrastructure for future inevitable humanitarian crises.
