Project Kesher Ukraine E-Bikes Are Saving Lives

By providing nurses with electric bicycles, Project Kesher Ukraine is reducing the time it takes for nurses to travel from patient to patient—often by as much as 75%—significantly expanding access to care. The e-bikes also reduce the physical toll on nurses, allowing them to better care for themselves while meeting the healthcare needs of their communities. What’s more, they make it possible for patients to receive help faster during crisis situations.

In one such instance, a Project Kesher-provided e-bike helped healthcare provider Dr. Alyona Oliynyk in Kharkiv quickly intervene in a hypertensive crisis with stroke symptoms, improving the patient's condition without requiring hospitalization. This exemplifies the difference Project Kesher Ukraine continues to make in the lives of Ukrainians as they fight for the future of their country.
