IHF continues to stand with hospitals in Ukraine as violence intensifies

The International Hospital Federation, of which the AHA is a member, today issued a statement expressing concern about the escalation of violence affecting hospitals and health care personnel in Ukraine as Russia continues its attack on the country. 
 
“Attacks on hospitals, healthcare workers, and ambulances are not acceptable,” the IHF statement said. “No matter the context. No matter the reasons. It is a violation of International Humanitarian Law, and we firmly stand against it.”

The AHA has made a donation to the U.S. Ukraine Foundation to support its critical humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. View the recent AHA Special Bulletin for more details on the effort.
