<p>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (Aug 23) presented Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with four BHISHM (Bharat Health Initiative for Sahyog Hita &amp; Maitri) Cubes during a one-day visit to the war-torn nation, hailed as historic by observers. The cubes are designed to help expedite treatment for injured and are expected to help Ukrainians as they battle out Russian forces.</p>

<h2><strong>What are BHISHM cubes?</strong></h2>

<p>The BHISHM stands for Bharat Health Initiative for Sahyog Hita &amp; Maitri, which roughly translates to India’s spirit of cooperation and friendship.</p>

<p>The BHISHM cubes are compact, portable and intended to provide first-line care in emergencies. These can prove to be critical assets in times of war-related situations and medical emergencies, especially in Ukraine which witnesses fatal attacks from Russia almost every day.</p>
