Adapting equipment to save more lives

29 juni 2026

An improvised oxygen mask for a cat was recently tested by medic Eva using the oxygen concentrator provided by Eyes on Ukraine, and this setup proved to be effective.

The oxygen concentrator is primarily used to provide oxygen therapy to wounded people during medical evacuations. However, the successful test demonstrated that the same equipment can also be used to support injured animals encountered during humanitarian and evacuation rotations.

While its primary purpose remains supporting humans, having the capability to assist animals adds another way for medics to provide important care. In war, every life is worth saving.

Your donations enable Eyes on Ukraine to provide critical medical equipment for people, and when possible, for the animals affected by war.
