«THEY DID TEST FOR FREE AND IMMEDIATELY PRESCRIBED THERAPY FOR 3 MONTHS»

Valentyna (name changed) is from Mariupol city – already known all over the world. Now the woman is safe in Frankfurt am Main, but talking about recent events is not easy for her. She says that she has been taking ART for 10 years, and she was registered in the native city. But when the russian invaders came, she had a break – the woman was 20 days without therapy. Valentyna had to leave. First, she got to Donetsk (and stayed there for 3 days), then to her relatives in Rostov-on-Don. She registered there, but realized that she would not stay. That’s why she decided to go and managed to reach Germany. At first she lived in a refugee camp. There was still therapy, but the remnants were negligible. Therefore, Valentyna began to look for opportunities to receive ART in a new place. She found the HelpNow service on Facebook, and contacted the indicated contacts. She was given the numbers of the German team, whose manager contacted her very quickly. The woman was registered for an appointment with a russian-speaking doctor, and put on the register as well.

“The doctor asked everything in detail, then they did tests for free and immediately prescribed therapy for 3 months, although at that time I did not even have health insurance. In October, go for a new dose of medicine. On the part of the doctors, everything is correct and benevolent. Many thanks to your and German teams, especially to the manager Larysa – such a sensitive person, she helped me a lot. Without you, everything would definitely be much longer and more difficult!”
