Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented four Bharat Health Initiatives for Sahyog Hita and Maitri—BHISHM Cubes—to the Government of Ukraine today.

The Cubes will help in the expeditious treatment of the injured and contribute to saving precious lives. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the Prime Minister for the humanitarian assistance. Each BHISHM Cube consists of medicines and equipment for the first line of care for all kinds of injuries and medical situations.

It also includes surgical equipment for a basic operation room that can manage 10 to 15 basic surgeries per day. The Cube has the capacity to handle about 200 cases of diverse nature in emergency situations such as trauma, bleeding, burns, and fractures, among others. It can also generate its own power and oxygen in limited amounts.

A team of experts from India has been deployed to provide initial training to the Ukrainian side to operate the Cube. The gesture underscores India’s continued commitment to providing humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.
