Webinar #204: Dr Lars Ljungström - Resourcing Ukrainian doctors – a story of hope

Recorded on 27 June 2024 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Lars Ljungström This webinar is about how, soon after the Russian full scale invasion of Ukraine, the Lord put together a most unlikely combination of five actors in order to support doctors and patients in Ukraine with large quantities of highly needed drugs. It is also about the fact that God uses very ordinary persons, which hopefully can serve as an encouragement to many other fellow Christians. The Christian Medical Association of Sweden, KLM, has had contact with their counterpart in Ukraine, CMAU, since 2011. Lars has visited Ukraine in 2016, 2017, 2023 and 2024. Lars has been a member of the Swedish Christian Medical Association (KLM) since 1981, now serving as International Secretary.For more than 30 years he has worked as an Infectious Disease Specialist in a 400-bed hospital in Skövde, Sweden. His special interests are sepsis, primary immunodeficiencies and HIV.Since 2009 he has made annual trips to a mission hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, to help mainly with HIV patients. He and his wife have four children and seven grandchildren, and belong to a baptist church with around 150 members. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To listen live to future ICMDA webinars visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ For the KLM of Sweden visit https://www.kristnalakare.se For the CMA of Ukraine visit https://www.cma-ukraine.com To support the ICMDA Ukraine Appeal visit: https://icmda.net/ukraineappeal/
