Over the course of more than 23 months of full-scale war in Ukraine, many objects of the Ukrainian medical infrastructure were damaged or completely destroyed by the Russian army. Russia continues to deliberately shell and attack hospitals, clinics, outpatient facilities, and maternity wards.
Despite the war and new challenges for Ukraine's healthcare system, efforts to restore medical facilities are ongoing. In almost two years, a total of 480 medical facility projects have been fully restored in various regions of Ukraine, and an additional 372 projects have been partially restored.
The leading regions in terms of the number of fully restored medical facilities are Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv.
It's important to note that the state's priority remains unchanged—to provide Ukrainians with quality and necessary medical services. Therefore, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, along with partners, continues to work on the restoration of the Ukrainian medical infrastructure to ensure that essential medical care is accessible to every patient.
During nearly two years of full-scale war, the enemy damaged 1,518 medical facility objects and completely destroyed 195 objects (which are not subject to restoration). The most significant losses occurred in the medical facilities of the Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Zaporizhia, Kyiv, and Chernihiv regions. Information about the Luhansk region is currently unavailable.
Additionally, the Russian army damaged 103 emergency medical assistance vehicles, destroyed 253 vehicles, and captured 125 emergency medical vehicles.
Recently, the Ministry of Health reported the opening of a modular clinic in the Chernihiv region, where Russia destroyed the medical infrastructure.
