This year, Andri<\/strong>i<\/strong> Romanchuk<\/strong><\/a>, Senior Partner at EUCONLAW Group and member of the Foreign Council of the Order of St. Panteleimon in Poland, nominated Fundacja Rozwoju Region\u00f3w<\/strong><\/a> for the award, which was recognised for its significant contribution to humanitarian aid, medical support and rehabilitation of war victims.<\/p>\n

In particular, the Foundation established one of the largest international humanitarian hubs in Poland, through which over 10,000 pallets of aid<\/strong> were delivered. It also provided support to more than 140 cities in Ukraine<\/strong> and over 90,000 Ukrainian citizens in Poland<\/strong>. Additionally, the organization supplied equipment to over 200 Ukrainian hospitals<\/strong> and facilitated the delivery of more than 250 ambulances<\/strong> and specialized medical equipment.<\/p>\n

During the ceremony, Andrii Romanchuk introduced the laureate and presented the award, highlighting their vital role in supporting Ukraine during the war.<\/p>\n

The social initiative \u201cOrder of St. Panteleimon\u201d<\/strong> was founded in 2009. It aims to recognise outstanding achievements in healthcare, charity and humanitarian activities. The Order\u2019s patron is Saint Panteleimon<\/strong>, protector of the sick, healer, and patron of doctors.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the Order has expanded its activities beyond Ukraine, establishing foreign councils in over ten countries worldwide<\/strong>. These councils honor foreign citizens, organizations, and companies that provide substantial support to Ukrainian medical institutions, save lives, and assist Ukraine in its fight for freedom and independence.<\/p>\n

Poland was among the first countries to open its borders on the first day of the full-scale war, welcomed Ukrainian families, and continues to support Ukraine. For this reason, the Order of St. Panteleimon<\/strong> is awarding its International Award in Poland for the second consecutive year \u2013 recognizing citizens and institutions that unite others around support for Ukrainian healthcare and humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n

The ceremony was attended by representatives of the Honorary Council of the Order, headed by Vasyl Knyazevych<\/strong>, member of the Honorary Council Filia Zhebrovska<\/strong>, as well as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleksandr Mishchenko<\/strong>, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Poland Vasyl Bodnar<\/strong>, Ambassador of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland Piotr Kandiba<\/strong>, members of the Foreign Council Pavlo Savenko<\/strong> and Andrii Romanchuk<\/strong>, representatives of the clergy, medical community, diplomatic corps, and humanitarian institutions.<\/p>\n
