A health network that deals primarily with vulnerable people has praised the "amazing" response to its appeal for more doctors and nurses to assist with Ukrainian refugees, particularly in congregated settings such as hotels.
SafetyNet Primary Care, which provides medical assistance to people in emergency accommodation and to rough sleepers, said it hoped to open evening and Saturday clinics to assist with the health needs for the thousands of Ukrainians already in Ireland, with many more to follow.
