Government is working systematically to ensure the uninterrupted operation of critical infrastructure

 In the context of constant enemy shelling of the power grid, it is significant to ensure the uninterrupted operation of critical infrastructure. The Government is working systematically and consistently to achieve this goal. A key condition is the autonomous power supply of such facilities. During the winter period, all critical infrastructure facilities must be operating even during prolonged power outages. Ensuring this is a joint task for local and central authorities. This was emphasized by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.

The Head of Government noted that in practice, the O.O. Shalimov National Scientific Center of Surgery and Transplantology operated according to this principle.

The facility is equipped with backup generators for operating rooms and intensive care units, has its own autonomous water supply thanks to a well, and, together with KMKL 6, has a separate boiler room. Solar panels have also been installed here as part of the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Health's “Ray of Hope” initiative to provide healthcare facilities with solar power generation capabilities. This allows the hospital to operate continuously and provide necessary assistance to people even during prolonged power outages.

In addition, residents of nearby houses can warm up and charge their electronic devices here, meaning that the facility also serves as an additional support point.
“Our goal is to scale this approach to life support facilities across the country for the sake of the sustainability of people and communities,” emphasized Yulia Svyrydenko.
