About our association
The Association of Ukrainian Anaesthetists in Great Britain is a unnincorporated nonprofit organisation aimed to unite anaesthetists, intensive care doctors and anaesthesia practitioners of Ukrainian origin in all parts of the United Kingdom. The Association was founded in 2023 by a group of anaesthetists of Ukrainian origin led by Dr Andrii Harha who is a Ukrainian anaesthetist working in the UK. After the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022, a large number of Ukrainian doctors including anaesthetists have fled to the United Kingdom. The Association is a democratic organisation and aims to provide support to anaesthetists of Ukrainian origin in the UK as well as collaborate with Ukrainian anaesthetists based in Ukraine to improve Ukrainian healthcare and anaesthesia services.
