Ukraine: connecting medical workers with volunteer drivers
[ad_1]
Andrew Pavlov is an IT specialist from Kiev, Ukraine.
In March, he founded a online platform match medical workers with volunteer drivers to help them commute between home and work when public transport was restricted.
The inspiration behind it was personal – Andrew drove his mother-in-law, who is a doctor, and other doctors to the hospital when they couldn’t make it to work. This inspired him to hire other pilots.
Currently, 100 drivers are registered on the platform.
Andrew’s initiative responded to a real need for hundreds of medical workers in Kiev and its suburbs. Platforms like his have helped reduce problems associated with medical transportation during the strict Ukrainian lockdown and quarantine.
