During the fifth meeting of the Steering Committee of the Ukrainian Investment Plan, additional funding was approved under the guarantees of the European Union for the joint project of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the World Bank "Strengthening the healthcare system and saving lives." Approximately 50 million euros are planned to be allocated for the reconstruction of hospitals that have suffered significant damage as a result of hostilities or are operating with increased workload
It is noted that the funding will primarily be directed to hospitals that also serve internally displaced persons.
"Additional funding will cover the preparatory and construction stages of project implementation. In particular, this includes conducting feasibility studies, environmental and social assessments, developing project and tender documentation, carrying out construction and installation works, technical supervision, as well as purchasing modern medical and laboratory equipment. The selection of specific institutions for the implementation of measures will take place after final confirmation of the availability of funding," the ministry added.
Recall
In Ukraine, the installation of solar power plants (SPPs) continues as part of preparing medical facilities for winter and strengthening their energy autonomy. Thanks to such solutions, hospitals are able to operate stably even in the event of prolonged power outages.
