Mission

Giving a chance to live and keep a good health for those who can rely only on God

About

“ASAP RESCUE" is an officially registered volunteer organisation. With the aim of saving lives and health of Ukrainian citizens, we participate in rescue operations in times of natural disasters and social turmoil. We operate during mass protests and riots, in times of internal instability or external aggression and military operations.

Currently, the organisation has allocated 100% of its resources to provide evacuation and medical services for all those affected by the execution of the counter-terrorist operation (CTO) in Donetsk region. “ASAP Rescue” is also enrolled in a humanitarian mission in CTO zone.

Medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) is performed by “ASAP RESCUE" with the help of specialized and standardized medical vehicles providing en route care. Our paramedics ensure timely transportation to medical institutions and provide first aid during the evacuation of injured, wounded or sick.
