**Background**

Johanniter International Assistance (JIA) has been active in Ukraine since August 2022, working together with local partners. Following the escalation into a full-scale war, the humanitarian situation in Ukraine and neighboring countries rapidly deteriorated.

Since March 2022, Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V. – Johanniter International Assistance has responded to urgent humanitarian needs through direct aid deliveries and partner-implemented projects, initially focusing on emergency relief assistance.

Building on this response, Johanniter International Assistance will increasingly prioritize health interventions as the central pillar of its upcoming projects in Ukraine, aiming to strengthen access to essential healthcare services, support emergency and trauma care, and reinforce the resilience of local health systems affected by the ongoing conflict.
