To evacuate from Ukraine into Poland using SAFER Ukraine, a patient’s family or clinician contacts the Tabletochki Charity Foundation. The foundation obtains the patient’s medical records and sends the information to SAFER Ukraine for translation. The patient and his or her accompanying family members travel to a safe and central departure point in Ukraine where they and others meet their assigned transportation. Once across the border, the patients and families travel to a central triage center to rest and await coordination of their transfer to a clinic where they will continue treatment.
SAFER Ukraine is a humanitarian effort launched following the Russian invasion to provide safe passage for childhood cancer patients and their families out of Ukraine. SAFER Ukraine established a virtual command center to coordinate evacuations and ensure treatment continues for pediatric oncology patients. The process includes determining transportation logistics and identifying high-risk patients who are deteriorating. The SAFER Ukraine team and volunteers translate medical records, coordinate departure travel and manage the logistics of transport across the border. In addition to the above efforts, the team also established a triage clinic in Poland. Patients and their families can rest and recover from the evacuation while awaiting assignment to a clinic for continued treatment.
