Call for donations for medications and technical equipment for psychiatric patients in Ukraine as a part of the WPA Humanitarian Support Programme

Dear WPA Membership,

WPA firmly believe that while we continue condemning the conflict and war in the region, our membership can do more in terms of overcoming the adverse impact of war on psychiatric patients.

Medications are very needed in Ukrainian psychiatric hospitals along with the technical equipment for relocated patients.

WPA is approaching its membership for collection of donations for medications and technical equipment for Ukraine. This can be done either by using the button on the website Donate Now or through the WPA bank the details are as follows.

Account Name: World Psychiatric Association
Bank Name: UBS Switzerland AG
IBAN (CHF account): CH67 0024 0240 5041 8360H

This action is a part of the Humanitarian program for Ukraine chaired by Prof. Danuta Wasserman (WPA President Elect) established by the WPA Advisory Committee on Response to Emergencies (ACRE). We shall engage and work with our member societies and other international organizations to support humanitarian work and ensure that WPA is vocal & visible not only in highlighting the consequences of war, crisis, trauma, and conflict on mental health but also following practical measures to help psychiatric patients and mental health professionals as well.

We will inform our member societies through the WPA Newsletter continuously about the activities of the WPA Humanitarian support program to Ukraine.

Afzal and Danuta
