Thornhill Medical has sent 34 MOVES, a lightweight battery-operated system that produces oxygen and acts as a ventilator, to Ukrainian armed forces
last year, a consultant to Toronto-based Thornhill Medical reached out to the medical branch of the Ukrainian military to see if the company could help.
In May, 2022, Thornhill donated four MOVES packs and two MADM kits to the Ukrainian armed forces for use on the front line and in hospitals. Thornhill also sent four staff to train around 100 civilians, military surgeons and anesthesiologists on how to use the equipment. “It is very gratifying to know that our technology is so relevant,” said Lesley Gouldie, Thornhill’s chief executive officer. “I think people are just so thankful to have some solutions that they can provide care to the injured on the ground.”
