Former Ireland A rugby star Shane Leahy helped arrange the delivery of the shipping container-turned-medical unit through his One4Humanity charityA “hospitainer” transported to Ukraine with Irish help will deliver babies this Christmas. The medical unit in a 20ft shipping container is designed to give essential obstetric care and health services to pregnant women and victims of sexual violence. The delivery was orchestrated by former Irish rugby star Shane Leahy through his new charity One4Humanity, which is sending consignments of vital medical aid to Ukraine. The maternity clinic unloaded with a crane on the outskirts of the Ukrainian village will be ready for the arrival of newborns by the end of the week. “A school was hit directly by missiles and a maternity clinic was damaged,” said Leahy.
