Emergency Medical Services have provided assistance more than 15 thousand times since the beginning of the war: numbers of the rescue operation

About 65 emergency medical teams are operating in the frontline regions of Ukraine. Only in 2025, they have conducted over 200 rotations, and since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, they have completed more than 600 rotations. This was reported during a briefing at the Media Center Ukraine by the head of the EMS Medical Support Department, Natalia Yashan.

“Currently, EMS medical units are present in all regional centers. Rotations are happening from all regions,” she noted.

Currently, EMS medical teams are working in combat conditions, providing medical support to EMS units engaged in humanitarian demining and disaster response. Specialists continuously enhance their skills in conditions of heightened danger, assisting the injured and wounded, performing resuscitation and other urgent medical procedures. Additionally, they carry out medical evacuations from areas under threat.

'During response operations to the consequences of Russian shelling, during emergency rescue works, EMS personnel, along with rescuers, provide immediate medical assistance to the injured and then evacuate them for transfer to specialized medical teams,' emphasized Natalia Yashan.

Since the beginning of the war, EMS medical teams have provided medical assistance to personnel more than 15 thousand times. Over 4,500 civilians have also benefited from their assistance, and more than 150 people have been rescued and hospitalized.

The important and dangerous work of EMS medical teams in combat conditions plays a significant role in delivering life-saving assistance to the population and military personnel in a range of dangerous situations that arise in Eastern Ukraine.
