Military Paramedic And Veteran Olena Sharhovska Dies At 43
In 2015, she began traveling to the front with the Mykola Pyrohov First Volunteer Mobile Hospital and later joined the Hospitallers medical battalion.
"Having mastered tactical medicine, 'Jane' went out to evacuate the wounded from the hottest sections of the front line, snatching our soldiers from the clutches of death on the way to stabilization points," the medical battalion's members said on Facebook.
In September 2022, Sharhovska enlisted in the International Legion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, where she also conducted tactical medicine training. At the same time, she continued serving on rotations with the Hospitallers battalion.
