The UK will provide funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) in Ukraine to train the mobile teams who are administering vaccines in Ukraine, the British Embassy in Ukraine said.

“This project will enable protection of over 58,000 medical workers. British Ambassador Melinda Simmons and WHO Representative in Ukraine Jarno Habicht met today to discuss the state of the pandemic and how the UK support will make a difference,” the embassy said on Twitter on March 5.
