According to Ukrinform, Delfi stated this in an article.

In addition to the previously scheduled patient transfer flights, a separate flight will be organized for patients who, after medical assessment at the Riga East Clinical University Hospital (RAKUS), will be referred to specialized rehabilitation centers for further treatment.

RAKUS representative Ilga Namniece said the decision to expand the patient reception program was based on the experience gained by Latvian medical and rehabilitation institutions in treating and rehabilitating people injured in the war in Ukraine.

The hospital reported that at the end of July it admitted another 32 seriously wounded Ukrainian soldiers during its 41st intake.

Since the beginning of the war, the Riga East Clinical University Hospital has provided medical care to 985 patients transported from Ukraine.

Medical professionals from a wide range of specialties are involved in treating Ukrainian patients at RAKUS, including trauma surgeons, general surgeons, microsurgeons, infectious disease specialists, physical and rehabilitation medicine physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, radiologists, and laboratory specialists.

Patients are transported to RAKUS through a private initiative by the founders of the charitable project M-Help.com, Arvis Rekets and Mārtiņš Medinieks.

As Ukrinform previously reported, on July 20 another humanitarian convoy worth nearly EUR 160,000 departed from Riga for Ukraine, funded by donations from Latvian residents.
