The fundraise has been finished and the box on the photo, with 100 CAT tourniquets has already been delivered to the medics from Tacmed North organization (https://www.facebook.com/tacmed.north). Since yesterday they are on the new rotation, close to the frontlines, coaching personnel the first AID techniques and helping with evacuation of wounded soldiers. Inpsyde collegues gave a great start for the campaign, and it was joined by my friends on Facebook and Instagram!
You may have noticed numerous videos and reports from the minefields in recent weeks. Due to counteroffensive actions from our (ukrainian) side the number of casualties has increased manificently. Russians use special cluster ammunition for seeding landmines to slow down ukrainian counterattack, causing numerous casualties. This is exactly the case where such medical devices as tourniquets are super important. I have no doubt that our donation of 100 tourniquets will give a chance for many lives. I'm grateful to everyone who joined our fundraise. But I really wish that soldiers who received them stay safe and avoid their direct usage.
I continue support of Tacmed North. Fundraise for next 100 CAT tourniquets has begun!
