The Deputy Minister reminded that five facilities on the territory of the Okhmatdyt Hospital were damaged. Two of these facilities are cultural heritage sites. The third building is the toxicological and administrative building.
It is in the third building (toxicological – ed.) that work will actually begin in May. We are currently waiting for permission to start construction work. These works include the conservation of a cultural heritage site. We will also move forward with the administrative building, which is being done with funds raised within the United24 platform. This conservation involves preserving the cultural heritage and preventing its further destruction. After the conservation, a design reconstruction can be developed. As of today, these two buildings do not affect the treatment process, the departments that were in these buildings have been moved and assistance is provided to patients.
He noted that there is also a surgical building, which is also very large.
Currently, at the expense of the World Bank, these are grant funds, design and estimate documentation is being prepared. Based on its results, we will then be able to announce a tender for the restoration or complete demolition and construction of a new building
He stressed that the hospital will provide assistance even during the reconstruction.
“This will be a sequential process, floor by floor, department by department, and the hospital will not stop,” said the Deputy Minister of Health.
AdditionOn July 8, 2024, the Russian army launched a targeted strike on the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital. On September 30, the hospital announced simplified purchases for emergency works worth UAH 9.51 million and technical supervision of them worth UAH 132 thousand. By November 15, priority emergency works were to be carried out to protect the Okhmatdyt Hospital building from external influences.
In October 2024, the medical director of Okhmatdyt, Serhiy Chernyshuk, stated that the restoration of the Okhmatdyt Hospital, which was damaged as a result of the Russian strike in July, will not be completed this year. The reason was that the procedure for selecting a contractor was changed, which requires more time. Also, a more detailed examination was carried out again, which is still in its final stage.
On March 11, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted an order to redistribute about UAH 6.3 million for the reconstruction of Okhmatdyt, as well as for the restoration of the historical outpatients’ clinic for laborers.
