Additionally, two checklists, the STMM Checklist – Sending Organization and the STMM Checklist – Host Organization, were developed and can also be used to plan medical missions. These best practice standards were designed to improve the partnership between sending and host organizations and they outline the general steps both the sending and host organizations should follow to improve STMMs. The Healthcare System Strengthening/Medical Mission guidelines describe the nine PQMD standards (Assessment, Partnership/Alliance, Governance, Code of Conduct, Preparation, Implementation, Training and Capacity Building, Sustainability, and Monitoring and Evaluation). English and Spanish versions can be found on the PQMD website. The PQMD/HSS-MM best practice resources include annually updated guidelines and checklists that can be easily adapted to local contexts. Americares, the lead NGO partner on the initiative, collaborated on all aspects of research for the initiative and provided oversight and leadership for the project. This PQMD Initiative was created to raise awareness of the need for STMMs to serve low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in a more sustainable fashion and strengthen their local health system. The Partnership for Quality Medical Donations–Health Systems Strengthening Medical Missions (PQMD/HSS-MM) Initiative developed best practice guidelines that better represent the perspectives of host countries through an in-depth exploration of gaps in current short-term medical missions (STMM) practices.

We have been able to set up a supply chain, raising funds in the USA, using our contacts in Europe to buy supplies, get supplies to Krakow, Poland where our contact then transports them to Lviv to be dispersed throughout Ukraine, particularly Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odessa. In many ways UMO has been able to leverage our relationships with Christian healthcare professionals in Ukraine, with those in Europe through the International Christian Medical Dental Association, and the United States to respond to the most pressing need for medical supplies inside Ukraine. Over the past week we have been able to pray and encourage the foreign medical students studying in Ukraine as well as connect them to those who can help them particularly in Hungary. Since 2001 God has blessed Ukraine Medical Outreach with many relationships both within Ukraine, Europe, and the United States. People pray, but ask what and how can we help.

It has been a week since the world has been turned upside down by the selfish ambition and bitter jealousy of one man.
