Three newly created mobile medical teams of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) began operating in Kherson region from the beginning of 2026.

"Over the past month, mobile medical teams (MMTs) provided 641 primary medical care consultations to the local population. Currently, the teams make trips to Vysokopillia, Kalynivka, Tiahynka, Beryslav and Novoraisk territorial communities," the URCS reported on Facebook on Thursday.

The MMTs consist of a family doctor, a nurse and a driver. They provide assistance to all residents, including internally displaced persons, large families, elderly people, children and adults, as well as persons with disabilities. Each patient can receive consultations from doctors, primary examination and assessment of general health condition, basic diagnostics (measurement of blood pressure, sugar and oxygen levels in blood).

The Ukrainian Red Cross Society emphasized that due to constant changes in the line of contact and regular shelling of Kherson region by the army of the Russian Federation, the work of mobile medical teams is of critical importance, as access to hospitals and pharmacies here is often limited or absent.

The schedule of trips is adjusted by decision of Primary Health Care Centers jointly with MMTs of the URCS in compliance with safety rules for the team and residents.
