Problem:
The Ukrainian health system faced serious disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, needing external assistance, provided by mobilisation of public resources, but also civic initiatives. These efforts were constrained by the lack of information about the exact needs and coordination.

Solution:
The solution consisted on adaption of the proven Polish tool CODE (www.wsparciedlaszpitala.pl) in the Ukrainian context. CODE is an advanced ICT Tool and Community for coordinating decentralized and bottom-up civic support to the Ukrainian health centers and hospitals. Project proposed the solution for mobilizing civic support in addressing material and know-how needs related to COVID-19 pandemics and resulted in establishing the fully localized ICT system and community supporting mass civic mobilisation to address shortages of equipment and material needs.
