Japanese doctor looking for short-term medical volunteer opportunities in Ukraine🇺🇦
Hi everyone,
I’m a doctor from Japan, and I’m looking for an opportunity to return to Ukraine as a medical volunteer for about 1–2 weeks, ideally sometime between December 2026 and January 2027.
I previously spent about 2 weeks volunteering at a hospital in Ukraine, where I had the opportunity to help care for patients affected by the war, including wounded soldiers. It was an experience that left a very strong impression on me, and since returning to Japan, I have continued to follow what is happening in Ukraine closely.
Seeing the news from Ukraine every day is heartbreaking, and I often find myself wishing there were something more I could do to help. That is one of the main reasons I would like to return.
I would be especially interested in supporting military hospitals, medical units, rehabilitation programs for wounded service members, or other appropriately organized medical services connected to the armed forces. I understand that such roles may involve strict requirements, screening, security procedures, and limitations on what international volunteers can do.
My main interests are emergency care, trauma, rehabilitation, and other medical work related to wounded soldiers and people affected by the war. However, I’m open to any role where my medical background could be useful and where I could contribute safely and appropriately.
I speak English fluently and can also communicate in French and russian, and to some extent in Ukrainian and Arabic. I have been studying Ukrainian because I would like to communicate with people in their own language as much as possible.
I have already contacted several organizations, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a suitable opportunity yet. So I thought I would ask here in case anyone knows of a military-affiliated hospital, medical unit, NGO, volunteer group, or other properly authorized organization that might accept an international doctor for a short-term placement.
If you know anyone I could contact, or if you have any advice based on your own experience, I would really appreciate it. Feel free to comment or send me a DM.
Дякую🇺🇦🤝🇯🇵
