Olaf Libiermais, MD, is a Latvian national who is an orthopaedic surgeon and microsurgeon with ties to Yale Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation. In recent weeks, he took up a collection of medical supplies and surgical instruments, and then personally drove from Riga, Latvia, to Kyiv, Ukraine, to deliver the provisions. He then decided to stay in Kyiv so that he could lend his surgical expertise in treating war wounds and train other medical providers as the conflict with Russia continues to escalate.
