Imagine a night-time transfer from a field stabilisation point. In the back of the vehicle lies a young man. His breathing is shallow and the colour is draining from his face. Time is measured in minutes. Think it sounds like a film scene? This is the reality of the war in Ukraine.
We are in the third year of the war in Ukraine. Evacuation routes are increasingly under fire and under drone surveillance (source: AP News).
An ambulance is the bridge between first aid and hospital care. In the second line it transfers the wounded from evacuation zones to field and receiving hospitals. The shorter this journey, the greater the chance that someone gets home. International health organisations have long stressed that strengthening pre-hospital and trauma care is among the highest priorities of assistance in Ukraine. WHO CDN. A fast and reliable transfer decides survival.
While global attention comes and goes, the need for medical equipment remains painfully high.
You can talk about leadership at length. You can teach it in lectures and rehearse it in model situations. Its true nature shows up elsewhere. In the moment when a person must take responsibility and act.
Ondřej Průcha is one of our lecturers. He is the guarantor of the MBA programme Strategy and Management of Real Estate Development, a yachtsman and the CEO of Svoboda & Průcha. Our collaboration within the MBA programme is not only about study. It is about responsibility, leadership and the courage to change the world around us. A leader is not the one who says what should happen. A leader is the one who gets up from the table and takes the first step.
That is why we are jointly organising a fundraiser to purchase an ambulance for frontline areas in Ukraine.
Our fundraiser builds on partners who know what they are doing. Post Bellum has long equipped the front with rescue equipment and evacuation vehicles. Their experience shows clearly that ambulances are a critical link in the rescue system. Post Bellum.
They serve in the second line and transfer the wounded from evacuation zones to field hospitals.
Each transfer is a real chance of survival.
Ambulances are purchased in Austria, most often from the Red Cross. After a full service and additional outfitting they head straight to frontline areas.
This vehicle will not sit in a garage or on display. It will operate where everything is at stake.
The fundraiser is open to everyone. Anyone can contribute and every amount matters.
It is simple, fast and secure. The fundraiser runs until 31 October 2025. The funds will be used for a specific ambulance which, once serviced and equipped, will head to Ukraine.
The need for pre-hospital care, trauma care and reliable patient transport is enormous and will remain crucial in the months ahead. The goal is to make each deployment a question of logistics and time we can shorten. WHO CDN.
At the front, speed and reliability are what count. Humanitarian organisations and medical teams repeatedly point out that accessible patient transport keeps the health system running even under extreme pressure. Every new ambulance increases the chance that the injured reach point B from point A in time. That is exactly what this is about. International Red Cross. Médecins Sans Frontières.
Thank you to everyone who helps send another vehicle to places where lives are on the line.
