Devon-based World Extreme Medicine, the world’s largest global medic network, is sending a fourth convoy to Ukraine to deliver medical training and urgently needed medical supplies directly into the war-torn country.
The initiative, known as Medics4Ukraine, was set up by WEM founder Mark Hannaford earlier in the year in response to the unfolding humanitarian crisis.
As part of its public health role, Devon County Council is supporting European Antibiotic Awareness Day on 18 November, to encourage people to think about their use of antibiotics, particularly for children.
The day aims to raise awareness of how to use antibiotics in a responsible way, so that they will remain effective for the future.
