Rebuild Ukraine's biggest children's hospital

The Ukrainian Red Cross, with support from partners and the Ministry of Health, has initiated work to restore the Paediatric Cardiology Centre in Kyiv

The Ukrainian Red Cross team, in collaboration with partners from the International Red Cross Movement, is restoring the children’s ward of the State Institution “Scientific and Practical Medical Centre for Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine” in Kyiv. As reported earlier, the building was damaged on 8 July 2024 in a massive missile attack on Kyiv and Okhmatdyt—the National Children’s Specialised Hospital. The total cost of the restoration project is UAH 42 million.

In particular, to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the facility, the following actions are planned:

• Install new partitions in the hospital building.
• Repair all damaged windows and doors.
• Repair the damaged components of the electrical and plumbing systems.
• Repair walls and renovate the interiors of affected areas in the hospital.
• Replace damaged flooring.
• Install new shower facilities.
• Repair damaged sections of the facade.
• Replace damaged sections of the roof.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Ukrainian Red Cross has been actively involved in the restoration of medical facilities. To date, 10,000 m² of medical and rehabilitation facilities have been repaired across the country. In particular, the Unbroken Rehabilitation Centre in Lviv and the State Rehabilitation Institution “All-Ukrainian Centre for Comprehensive Rehabilitation for Persons with Disabilities” in Liutizh, Kyiv region, have already been restored. Additionally, solar panels have been installed at Vyshneve City Hospital in the Kyiv region. This hospital serves over 120,000 people, including thousands of internally displaced persons, and with the new equipment, it will be able to operate even during emergency power outages.
