I also come from Ukraine, so I understand how difficult it is for them to find their place in a foreign country. especially when they need medical help, "says the coordinator of the #OmeaHelp Nataliia Ukhach project.
The coordinator is available from Mon-Fri. from 09:00 to 17:00 at the Breast Cancer Knowledge Center of the OmeaLife Foundation - Aleja Grunwaldzka 53 in Gdańsk and by calling 575 221 137 and email [email protected].
