Rapid reconstruction of medical facilities in Ukraine is a critical need to ensure the quality of life. This was stated by Victoria Korsunova, Director of the Kyiv office of the Ukraine Reconstruction Fund.
As of 2024, 1604 medical institutions in Ukraine have been damaged by the war, 211 of which are completely destroyed and cannot be restored. Medical facilities in Kharkiv, Donetsk and Mykolaiv regions have suffered the most.
Therefore, the urgent reconstruction of medical facilities is a priority for the country to ensure that Ukrainians have access to medical care and rehabilitation for the victims.
“Restoration of medical infrastructure is not only about physical reconstruction of walls, but also about ensuring a decent level of medical services for citizens affected by the war. We are engaging international experience and experts to plan and implement these projects, as it is an important part of national recovery,” emphasized Viktoriia Korsunova.
Attracting international assistance and adapting infrastructure to risks are key factors in the reconstruction process.
“Rebuilding medical facilities requires coordinated efforts of the state, international organizations and investors. We are ready to cooperate, because only joint efforts can ensure effective and long-term reconstruction,” added Viktoriia Korsunova.
Ukraine already has successful examples of such projects: Chernihiv Regional Hospital, Kharkiv Regional Psychiatric Hospital and several institutions in Mykolaiv, which have been restored thanks to the national reconstruction program and cooperation with international donors.
