Ministry of Health: russian shells hit more than 300 Ukrainian hospitals

During the time of the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine, 324 hospitals were damaged, of which 24 were completely destroyed. This was announced by Deputy Minister of Health Oleksii Yaremenko on air of Kyiv TV channel.

According to him, the list of destroyed medical institutions is replenished almost daily by new ruined hospitals. After all, russian terrorists are destroying everything in their path.

Instead, in the territories already liberated from the occupiers, work is underway to restore healthcare facilities.

"As soon as the territory is deoccupied, we send the necessary resources there. In particular, the Ministry has already started planning the rehabilitation and reconstruction of hospitals. The Ministry of Health is currently working on a comprehensive plan of where hospitals will be built, in what shape they will be restored and what services they will provide. While the reconstruction of medical facilities continues, mobile hospitals may be temporarily located in some settlements. Also in hospitals where the scale of destructions is low, minor repairs will be carried out as an intermediate stage," Oleksii Yaremenko said.

The Ministry of Health is working systematically with international partners to rebuild every hospital needed to provide healthcare services to the population as soon as possible.

Humanitarian aid is also being actively supplied to healthcare facilities in the liberated territories. In particular, medicines, consumables and equipment.

It should be noted that since the beginning of the full-blown war, Ukraine has received more than 3,234 tons of medical humanitarian aid totaling more than UAH 3,214,000,000.
