CPME report
The aim of the Standing Committee of European Doctors (CPME; Comité Permanent des Médecins Européens) is to coordinate the opinions and interests of the professional medical organisations across different areas of health and social policy in order to be able to present European institutions with a unified voice (https://www.cpme.eu/)
The CPME established the Ukraine Medical Help Fund as a joint initiative by CPME, EFMA and WMA following an urgent request by the Ukrainian Medical Association. “The intense military escalation has resulted in loss of life, injuries, and the displacement of over one million refugees to neighbouring countries, with more expected. Hospitals and medical facilities have suffered severe damage and there is a shortage of all medical supplies and tremendous logistical challenges in sending aid.“
