mean people, corrupt politicians, poverty, happy pharmaceutical ads;
News report: shortage of insulin in Ukraine-related war: I have saved numerous "left over short dose" vials of Humulin N. (ironically, "in case of the Apocalypse") . Is it a good idea to collect them and send them to Poland, e.g.? Would they go through customs?
 
Anything out of date won't be accepted. Also, anything that is prescription only requires a doctor's note with them. You are probably better off finding a medical orientated charity in the UK and sending to them. They will know what will or won't be acceptable, and what paperwork is needed. They would also have connections and know where various meds are needed.
