It has donated over 375,000 items of medical equipment and medicines from Canada's strategic stockpile since the invasion by Russia began.

This includes first aid and trauma kits, medicines and surgical instruments, as well as gloves, masks and gowns. Canada's health minister also helped push through an international resolution on rebuilding Ukraine's besieged health-care system in Geneva this week. Jean-Yves Duclos held bilateral talks to help get the votes required for the resolution, which Canada co-sponsored with Ukraine at the World Health Assembly meeting.

The Ukrainian motion, voted for by 88 countries to 12, with 43 abstentions, follows attacks on Ukraine's health-care facilities and equipment, including ambulances, by Russian forces.

You frame this like it's a bad thing. Do better!

Great! They were just sitting around anyway! Old stock. No point in throwing it away. The people in Ukraine desperately need it. They had no antibiotics left in some hospitals which is super important to keep infections under control and save some limbs.

Who cares If Ukraine burns lmao. I mean. Yeah it's sad and all. But at the end of the day...we shouldn't be digging into our 'emergency ' supplies for no damn foreign nation lmao.its for us and us alone.

Disgusting 😡.

Stop wasting our resources on a corrupted country like Ukraine. Start looking after your own people who are living under distress from the actions your government has caused. Time for Ukraine to look after their selfs.

Our hospitals are in shambles doing more with less but ok…

Usual canada screwing our own citizens first. Great plan

Does the Canadian government hate Canadians?

So we have to go to Ukraine if we re in need

Russia can single handedly defeat Canada and Ukraine in any war. So, the smarter thing to do from beginning was to play a peace maker, put our energies into negotiations. Instead we boasted we were going to supply destructive weapons. Despite the propaganda, Ukraine will lose.

Fort York tho

Yes …. It’s fuc**** our tax money!

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 covid is the worst 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Since most of the comments are saying good on the government for putting this stuff to good use, let’s send all the bums who choose not to work but sit at home and collect welfare instead. Put them to good use.

Oh geez, not sure that’s a great idea.

Maybe China is watching and taking note

Any further details...is this meant to be alarmist.

Happy to help others in need but I sure hope that orders have gone in to replenish our own emergency stock as well.

Rat looking mf
