Hospitals are sending medical supplies to treat people in Ukraine as fighting continues across the country.
Sheffield Hospitals said it was working to gather and donate equipment that would otherwise be wasted in the UK.
A call for supplies was issued by the World Health Organisation after oxygen stocks ran low in Ukraine.
Kirsten Major, chief executive at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, said the supplies sent would be at the end of their shelf-life.
"The Ukrainian embassy put out a call in terms of medical equipment," Ms Major said.
Her team did a "rapid piece of work" organising items to send out that would "be close to the end of their use-by date".
Medical items were sent from hospitals in the city, including Sheffield Children's Hospital, to treat patients affected by the ongoing war.
"We have linked in with other hospitals to send [items] and it appears we've got an established supply chain to get those supplies into the country," she told BBC Radio Sheffield.
Thousands of items have been flown from the UK to Ukrainian hospitals, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Sajid Javid said.
