In the heart of Kyiv, Dr. Olexandr Usenko isn’t just running a hospital – he’s safeguarding lives while holding onto hope. The director of Shalimov National Institute of Surgery and Transplantology revealed to NewspaperAmigo.com that 400 displaced people are currently sheltering within the facility’s walls as conflict rages nearby.
'We’re treating bullet wounds one minute and comforting terrified children the next,' Usenko shared in an emotional video dispatch. But amid the chaos, his message cuts through: 'Peace isn’t a luxury – it’s oxygen for humanity.'
The institute has transformed into a makeshift sanctuary, with doctors doubling as counselors and operating rooms storing emergency food supplies. Usenko’s team works round the clock, proving that hope can be as vital as medicine in wartime.
Young professionals and students worldwide are sharing his video online, with many calling it 'a wake-up call for our generation.' As Usenko reminds us: 'Every vaccine we create means nothing if we can’t cure the disease of war.'
