Medic Training Program

We raise money to support the education and operations of medics and first-line critical care providers in Ukraine. Since February 2022, over half of Ukrainians who died from their injuries could have been saved, and the majority of limb amputations avoided, if medics were thoroughly educated in lifesaving skills. The Foundation is providing the Ukraine Medical Corps and Academy all 32 classroom sets of sophisticated medical education equipment and medic training consumable. The Medical Corps and Academy are supervising the instruction by Ukrainian physicians and senior medics to teach the same curriculum used to teach U.S. and other NATO combat medics in 94 skills.

Medics who graduate from the course are also encouraged to complete an Instructor Course. Its purpose is to allow these graduates to train all soldiers in their units in skills such as tourniquet conversion, thus minimize the numbers of avoidable amputations. This crucial "train the trainer" approach allows the Here Right Matters Foundation to make an even wider impact.

We measure our success by carefully tracking: the number of combat medics trained, the capacity of qualified medic instructors assigned, and estimated reductions in preventable amputations.

We personally supervise the property transfer of all the equipment and trucks to the appropriate medical instructor locations and secure copies of the official property transfer documents.
