On September 14, patients from the Ukraine were brought to Nuremberg in a Boeing 737.
You are now being treated in Bavaria.
Nuremberg – The so-called cloverleaf concept was introduced in 2020 to distribute patients effectively and without organizational chaos to hospitals throughout Germany - depending on where there is space and capacity.
Like a shamrock, Germany was divided into four parts – north, west, east and south.
Hence the name.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the concept has also been used in the care of Ukrainian patients.
Support for Ukraine: Patients in Bavarian hospitals
According to a press release from Nuremberg Airport, a Boeing 737 from SAS Scandinavian Airlines landed on the airport runway on Wednesday, September 14th.
There were patients from Ukraine on the plane.
They are now to be distributed to hospitals throughout Bavaria.
In Ukraine, since the invasion of Russia, medical care for the country's citizens can no longer be guaranteed nationwide - especially in the eastern regions of the country, where the war is raging hardest.
Therefore, European countries also support Ukraine by taking in and caring for particularly needy patients.

The airport fire brigade and the traffic department of the airport took over the organization on site.
"The integrated control center of the Nuremberg fire brigade coordinated the patient transport in cooperation with the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK)," said Nuremberg Airport.
There is also a cooperation with Norway.
"This takes place within the framework of the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM)," the press release says.
Since the beginning of the war, Norway has been involved in the transport and treatment of Ukrainian patients.
