Innovation in Humanitarian Assistance and Implications on the War in Ukraine

It has been estimated that 274 million people will be in need of humanitarian assistance and protection in 2022. While humanitarian aid continues to grow year after year, funding gaps continue to limit aid distribution worldwide. GlobalMedic is a leader in the use of innovative technology to respond to disasters. By using creative, innovative solutions, GlobalMedic is able to provide the right aid, to the right people, at the right time.  Rahul Singh will highlight the complexity and significance of GlobalMedic's multidisciplinary approach to addressing these ever-growing needs.
