Crisis Rescue Foundation and the MDU

Dr Sharon Raymond
The non-profit Crisis Rescue Foundation is helping medical students in war zones continue their studies in the face of extreme adversity. Founder and director Dr Sharon Raymond, GP, tells us more.

Our recent survey showed that 63% of students have stayed in Ukraine for their medical studies, and nearly 90% of our students would return to Ukraine after the war, thanks to CRF lectures.
