Then, in a series of stories, Iryna showed the conditions in which she must treat her patients: “Hello, friends. My name is Iryna. Today I am using David Beckham’s Instagram. In times of peace, I am the director of the Center Kharkiv Regional Perinatal and Children’s Anesthesiologist Today I’m going to show them how we work in times of war and who we have become during these days of war.
“The first few days were very difficult. We had to learn how to work under the bombardments and attacks”, said the doctor, accompanying the story with images in which the precarious working conditions are observed, with material that they receive in large part from UNICEF.
The most difficult thing was adapting the attention to the extreme conditions imposed by the Russian invasion: “On the first day of the war, all pregnant women and mothers were evacuated to the basement. It was a terrible three hours that we spent together.”

“We are probably risking our lives, but we don’t think about that at all. We love our work. The doctors and nurses here We worry, we cry, but none of us will give up”, expressed the tireless and heroic Iryna.
However, there are very special and fragile patients who cannot be protected from the bombs in the basement, so their lives are at great risk: “Unfortunately, we can’t bring down babies who are in intensive care because they need to be with certain equipment that saves their lives”.

In recent days, Iryna had to add other tasks to her position and specialty “24 hours a day, seven days a week”, because she also performs “unloading, logistics work and emotional support”.
The professional also presented one of the many life stories from her hospital, that of “Yana and her newborn baby Mykhailo”, who “was born with respiratory problems”. Although the child “is better now”, “their house was destroyed and now they cannot return”.
Yana and Mikhailo cannot return to their house, which was destroyed.
A few days ago, Beckham and his wife, the former Spice Girl Victoria, said that they had made a significant donation through UNICEF for the victims of the war, although without detailing the figure.
In the bio of the former soccer player on Instagram there is a link that leads to the site through which the organization that helps children channels economic contributions.
