The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) identified the requirements for the ambulances, managed the contract and facilitated the delivery of the medical vehicles. They will provide basic life support treatments on route to a hospital, securing initial healthcare for critical and non-critical patients. The vehicles are equipped with standard medical equipment such as stretchers, oxygen systems, defibrillator, infusion pump, and are fitted with abundant medical consumables. In addition to the nine vehicles, NSPA will facilitate the delivery of several X-ray devices.

This humanitarian donation, made available by a financial donation of the Republic of Korea, is part of the support NATO Allies and Partners are providing to Ukraine as the country defends itself against Russia's war of aggression.

The Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre is active all year round, operates on a 24/7 basis, and involves all NATO Allies and partner countries. It functions as a clearinghouse system for coordinating both requests for and offers of assistance.

NSPA works in close coordination with the EADRCC to facilitate medical supplies and equipment and other types of support to nations in need, as required.
