Cabinet allocates UAH 354.6 million for hospital and maternity shelter repairs
Published · Updated
What happened
The Cabinet of Ministers approved the allocation of UAH 354.6 million for shelter repairs in maternity hospitals and for protective upgrades at hospitals with inpatient units, including surgical, ICU, neonatal ICU, and obstetric areas.
Why it matters
The allocation changes near-term protection and service-continuity planning for hospitals that must keep inpatient and maternity care running during air alerts and strikes. Because the funding stays within the current Health Ministry budget envelope, implementation can begin without waiting for a new appropriations package.
The Cabinet of Ministers directed UAH 354.6 million to repair shelters in maternity hospitals and to strengthen protected spaces at hospitals with inpatient services, including operating rooms, intensive care units, neonatal intensive care units, and delivery wards. The measure is designed to preserve continuity of care during air attacks while staying within the existing Ministry of Health budget envelope. For the health system, the near-term question is how quickly the Health Ministry and local facility owners can contract, prioritize, and execute the works before further strikes disrupt care.
