Novartis expands humanitarian efforts in Ukraine through donation of essential medicines

Novartis experts are working diligently to ensure continued supply of our medicines in Ukraine, where the health of patients who depend on these medicines is our priority.

We are expanding our humanitarian efforts in Ukraine by donating our inventory of essential medicines directly within the country, including much-needed antibiotics and painkillers from the Sandoz portfolio, for use in Ukrainian medical facilities. We are also working with the surrounding countries to supply medicines into Ukraine from outside of the country.

This is in addition to our initial donation of USD 3 million to three humanitarian organizations that help people in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in the neighboring countries.
