The project has provided care for more than 1,500 children. Chernobyl Children Project USA has also provided equipment, supplies and training to medical institutions and personnel in the region totaling over $6 million. Boston-area doctors and hospitals have performed surgeries totaling more than $4 million. Each year, more than $450,000 in diagnostic medical services are donated from 15 area hospitals. U.S. doctors also travel to the area to train their counterparts in the use of donated medical equipment, such as ultrasounds for diagnosing thyroid problems.
