Since February 24 last year, the occupiers have been attacking the Ukrainian medical infrastructure almost every day.

During the 11 months of war in Ukraine, 1,206 medical facilities were damaged.

Of these, 1,035 medical infrastructure facilities were damaged and another 171 facilities were completely destroyed, without the possibility of further restoration. 

The website of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine informs about this.

In order to rebuild the destroyed and damaged medical infrastructure to the state it was in before the war, according to preliminary estimates, the state needs about 1 billion dollars. 

According to the first deputy minister of health Oleksandr Komarida, the enemy is purposefully targeting hospitals and dispensaries in order to leave as many people as possible without medical assistance. 

"Every day, we receive figures from each region on the destruction and damage of medical infrastructure.

Unfortunately, these numbers are growing almost every day, especially in the front and near-front territories.

Our hospitals, maternity hospitals and clinics continue to become targets for Russian missiles and shells.

But Russia will not break us with any such shelling.

We are already rebuilding the destroyed hospitals so that our patients have full access to the necessary medical care," said Oleksandr Komarida.

He also noted that Ukraine is actively restoring medical facilities in the de-occupied regions and territories where hostilities are not taking place.

During the 11 months of the war, 143 facilities of medical institutions, which suffered minor damage or destruction as a result of shelling, were completely restored.

More than 250 medical facilities have been partially restored. 

Most of the rebuilt medical facilities are located in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
