Quote: “The attacks damaged 1,642 medical facilities of 676 healthcare institutions and entirely destroyed 214 facilities of 99 institutions. The Russians deliberately attack hospitals, maternity facilities, outpatient clinics and clinics,” the Ministry of Health said.
Details: The most affected medical institutions are located in the frontline regions:
- Kharkiv Oblast;
- Donetsk Oblast;
- Mykolaiv Oblast;
- Kherson Oblast;
- Chernihiv Oblast;
- Kyiv Oblast;
- Dnipropetrovsk Oblast;
- Zaporizhzhia Oblast;
- Sumy Oblast.
On 20 July, Russian forces damaged hospitals in Kherson and Mykolaiv oblasts.
The 8 July Russian missile strike targeted the Okhmatdyt National Children’s Specialised Hospital in Kyiv, destroying and damaging buildings. In addition, seven people were killed as a result of damage caused by a missile wreckage hitting an ADONIS medical centre in the Dniprovskyi district of the city of Kyiv.
The Russians also attacked a maternity hospital in Dnipro in late December 2023. Fortunately, all of the patients survived because they followed doctors to a shelter as soon as the air-raid warning was issued.
According to the Ministry of Health, medical infrastructure is being restlessly repaired, with 885 medical institution objects restored since the Russian invasion began. The majority of these facilities are situated in Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv oblasts.
