Dear Valued Reader,

On behalf of the entire MediHelp family and with a broken heart, I would like to express our sadness and astonishment at the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine. There is no justification for such destruction and crimes – I believe we all agree on that.

In my life I have experienced and witnessed different aspects of war and military conflict, both from afar and very close at hand. What is happening in the eastern part of Europe will have far-reaching consequences socially, economically and mentally throughout the continent and most likely all over the world. It will most definitely bring changes that at this moment we cannot even imagine.

For now, however, we are busy doing all we can to ease the pain. All of us have been involved in helping refugees; some of us are hosting, some volunteering to coordinate, some offering food and supplies, some providing medical care. Our employees are finding ways to help both as members of the MediHelp community and as private individuals.

I would like to say that our social responsibility has proven to be working and valid both in the most severe periods of the Covid-19 pandemic and during the current crisis. We have served the purpose of our existence, namely, to provide healthcare for those people who do not have access to a national system which is overloaded or has collapsed.

MediHelp sends its warm appreciation to all the medical teams, regardless of whether they are working in hospitals, emergency rooms, railway stations or in temporary shelters. We support and respect all their efforts, and at the same time offer private solutions for those who want to take responsibility for themselves, for their family and for their employees.

Let me express my greatest gratitude to all of you who have understood the essence of being humane, who have looked for and found ways and means to help, and who continue to support peace and understanding.

Sincerely,

Sir Zahal Levy
