Hospitals in Ukraine are at risk of being overwhelmed as the war intensifies with an urgent need for targeted and ongoing medical aid, a Ukrainian doctor working in Ireland said.

Dr Kateryna Kachurets is part of Medical Help Ukraine, a group of doctors from the now war-torn country working in Ireland across hospitals and primary care in Cork, Limerick, and Dublin.
