What Cf "patients Of Ukraine" Char. Org. does

Patients of Ukraine Charitable Foundation is a Kyiv-based non-governmental, non-profit organization founded in 2011 that unites 53 patient organizations representing over 4.5 million Ukrainians living with serious, chronic, and rare diseases. It functions as a policy advocacy coalition and operational implementer rather than a commercial entity, advancing patient rights through engagement with the Ministry of Health, the National Health Service of Ukraine (NHSU), and Members of Parliament, and through direct humanitarian procurement and delivery of medicines and medical equipment.

The foundation's product and service portfolio combines digital patient-facing tools with on-the-ground humanitarian and grant-making operations. Digital assets include the Eliky (ЄЛІКИ) web platform for checking the availability of state-procured medicines in hospitals, a suite of Telegram and Viber chatbots (JustSaveLife, Liki Control, Full Lungs, I Will Be Mother, Ask Hrytsia, Treat Yourself) addressing specific disease areas, and the "Health Number" (Номер здоров'я) hotline that consulted nearly 5,000 patients in 2025. Operational assets include the Humanitarian Hub, established in 2022 to procure and deliver medicines and equipment (over UAH 380 million / €7.5 million disbursed 2022–2025), the TRUE (Trauma Rehabilitation for Ukraine) initiative delivered in consortium with Swiss TPH and four civil society partners, and the School of Public Health capacity-building program.

The foundation is funded almost entirely through grants from international donors and multilateral institutions — USAID, Swiss Development Cooperation / Swiss TPH, the World Bank, WHO, UNDP, UNICEF, UNAIDS, the International Renaissance Foundation, the EU's Ukraine2EU Programme, Nova Ukraine, Crown Agents, and others — alongside sub-grant pass-throughs to local NGOs under TRUE. It generates no commercial revenue from end patients, does not charge for its services, and is not a viable candidate for equity investment.
