On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented the Ukrainian government with four BHISHM (Bharat Health Initiative for Sahyog Hita & Maitri) Cubes. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy extended gratitude to Prime Minister Modi for the humanitarian assistance. The BHISHM Cubes are intended to provide speedy medical treatment and save lives, reported ANI.
According to the report, in a post on X, PM Modi termed the BHISHM program as a one-of-a-kind effort to deliver medical facilities in a rapidly deployable style. Each cube contains drugs and equipment for early medical care and can support up to 10-15 simple procedures per day. It can handle approximately 200 emergency situations involving trauma, haemorrhage, burns, and fractures. In addition, the cubes can produce their own power and oxygen in limited quantities. An Indian team is in Ukraine to conduct preliminary training on the cubes.
