Fondation Humanitaire Internationale AICM Ukraine

Created in 2006, AICM Ukraine, is the Ukrainian extension of Association Internationale de Cooperation Medicale. The management of the AICM has been providing medical and pharmaceutical care to Central and Eastern European countries for over 16 years. Many Ukrainian doctors have asked us to help them establish contact with their French colleagues. We decided to create a Fund in Ukraine, which would become a kind of bridge between the two countries because of the huge demand for sharing foreign experience. Since the Foundation's inception, its activities have spread to several hundred hospitals and government agencies in Ukraine. Humanitarian actions represent 50% of the total budget. AICM imported 554 tons of medical equipment and drugs for the most urgent needs of hospitals. Since 2014, AICM Ukraine has refocused its activity on helping the populations in the region from Donetsk and Lugansk. Access to healthcare is a fundamental right whatever the origin and duration of the conflict. AICM Ukraine devotes all its energy to this while remaining completely neutral and independent. In this war zone, AICM has developed medical projects for the identification and protection of victims of domestic violence and patients suffering from specific pathologies such as cancer, diabetes, HIV, Tuberculosis. Since February 2022, AICM has been present in all areas facing the Russian invasion. Its network of 130 corresponding doctors allows it to know the most urgent needs of hospitals and populations. AICM intervenes with the local authorities to detect and help populations and hospitals in difficulty. Thanks to its many foreign partners, AICM has created a humanitarian platform in Ukraine for assistance in food, hygiene, technology, medicines and medical equipment. With 3 distribution teams for refugee and social centers, up to large towns, i.e. regular deliveries of 100 kg to 80 tons, AICM helps 5,000 individuals and 40 to 75,000 towns affected by the conflict each week.
