"A modern and comfortable children's hospital with professional staff, accurate diagnostics, timely care and the latest equipment. This is the dream of every region and community.
Recently, I visited the regional children's hospital in Boyarka. We want it to be the best medical institution on the level of Okhmatdyt," said Kravchenko.

"In particular, we are equipping a pediatric oncohematology department for 25 patients. Doctors will be able to perform bone marrow transplants right here. And this will be available not only for those who live in Kyiv region, but also in other regions.
We are reconstructing the operating unit into 7 operating rooms. This will allow us to increase the number of surgical interventions by 3.5-4 thousand, as well as expand their range. And the main thing is to speed up the recovery of each patient.
We are planning to replace passenger and freight elevators to transport patients to the necessary departments as quickly as possible and without additional staff. Everything is done in accordance with the requirements of inclusiveness. We are completing the repair of the roof of the hospital's main building," added the RMA head.

"Thanks to the joint project of the Ministry of Health and the World Bank, the hospital will soon receive equipment for thermal antibacterial treatment of medical waste, which will be further utilized. This is a unique infrastructure project that will allow us to save a lot of money on disposal. We have already completed the overhaul of the room where the equipment will be installed," he said.
