In total, 24 departments were damaged. This was stated by the Director General of Okhmatdyt Volodymyr Zhovnir during a meeting of the UN Security Council, UNN reports.
The hospital's toxicology department and trauma unit were completely destroyed. Part of the country's only oncohematology laboratory was also destroyed. In total, 24 departments were damaged, including 10 surgical departments, 5 oncology departments, 3 intensive care units, 2 operating units, 2 asthma departments, the Department of Radiology, the Department of Radiotherapy and Perinatal Services
He added that the hospital had suspended medical care in the toxicology department.
He also noted that the strike on Okhmatdyt will have long-term consequences, as patients will lack medical care and specialized services, as the high-tech equipment will not be restored quickly.
This will have serious consequences for Ukrainian children in need of medical care
