In The Wake Of The Frontlines

The wounds of war run deep, and for those affected by the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine, the journey to recovery has barely begun. The healthcare system struggles to keep pace with the overwhelming number of war-wounded and lacks the resources to provide the necessary post-operative follow-up.

For many patients, emergency surgical interventions are just the beginning. Without proper rehabilitation, their road to recovery is plagued by serious risks, and their journey to full health may take much longer than it should. The impact of this extends beyond the individuals and touches the very fabric of the healthcare system itself. These images provide a reminder of the toll that war takes on individuals, captured at the MSF Rehabilitation Center in Kyiv, Ukraine.
