The European Commission (DG ECHO and DG SANTE) has set up a standard operating procedure for the medical evacuation of Ukrainian people in need of urgent medical care.
Pre-planned flights for groups of MEDEVAC patients have been taking place twice per week since midAugust, using a medicalised plane offered by Norway.
