Lived Experience article from a woman working in hypertension research: Ukraine.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED NOW AND HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL SITUATION?

Now, my daughter and I are in Poland (in Gdansk). In early March, after military attacks on my country and my hometown Kharkiv, I decided that the only option to save my child was evacuation. So my daughter and I came to Poland.

It is no coincidence that we came to Gdansk, since from July 2017 to July 2018 I was a Post-doc at the Clinic of Hypertension and Diabetology at the Medical University of Gdańsk, and I still have the brightest memories of the year of work spent under the guidance of Professor Narkiewicz. From the first day of the war, Professor Narkiewicz and his colleagues have provided great support to my family. I remember with gratitude how, hiding from the bombing, I received daily messages from Professor Narkiewicz and clinic staff. In those terrible days, I felt that they were worried about me and were trying in every possible way to help. This support has been very valuable to me.
