Ukraine Plans More Hospital Shelter Upgrades
Ukraine is expanding efforts to protect hospitals and medical facilities from Russian missile and drone attacks, with additional shelter construction and renovation planned across the country.
Seventeen People Hospitalized After Attack
According to the Office of the President of Ukraine, 17 people were hospitalized following the Pryluky strike.
Ukraine Reviews Hospital Shelter Infrastructure
According to the presidential office, 62 of Ukraine’s 239 maternity hospitals currently have properly renovated shelters.
The government plans to use nearly 500 million hryvnias from the state budget this year to finance shelter improvements at another 62 facilities.
Operating Rooms and Intensive Care Must Function During Attacks
Zelenskyy instructed authorities to prioritize improvements to the Pryluky hospital shelter so protected areas can support operating rooms and intensive-care units.
Why It Matters
For hospitals, the question is increasingly how to maintain critical medical treatment while missiles and drones are in the air.
