#204 Resourcing Ukrainian doctors – a story of hope 🗓
With Dr Lars Ljungström
This webinar is about how, soon after the Russian full scale invasion of Ukraine, the Lord put together a most unlikely combination of five actors in order to support doctors and patients in Ukraine with large quantities of highly needed drugs.
It is also about the fact that God uses very ordinary persons, which hopefully can serve as an encouragement to many other fellow Christians.
The Christian Medical Association of Sweden, KLM, has had contact with their counterpart in Ukraine, CMAU, since 2011. Lars has visited Ukraine in 2016, 2017, 2023 and 2024.
