- I was told that many people had come and that they did not know how they felt.

I then decided to come here and am here with another nurse, says Linda Åkerman, assistant nurse from Västervik.

In recent days, private individuals have become involved in helping the Ukrainian refugees who have been placed in the Elsabo asylum accommodation in Berga outside Högsby.

Many initiatives are planned, including delivering clothes, food and furniture to the refugees.

Occurs in the region

The region's asylum and refugee health care will carry out a health check of the refugees this weekend, but already now volunteer nurses have visited the accommodation to help the refugees who are in urgent need of care.

- We can find these people faster and ensure that they get to the right place in healthcare as soon as possible, says Margit Pennerud, retired nurse.
