The Czech Republic will participate in six public investment projects to modernize Ukrainian medical institutions.

According to the Ministry of Health, the European Commission has currently approved projects to modernize the Lviv Regional Hospital for War Veterans and Repressed Persons, the Rivne Regional Hospital for War Veterans, the Volyn Regional Clinical Hospital, Kryvy Rih City Hospital No. 5, Dnipro City Clinical Hospital No. 16, and the Kyiv Regional Children's Hospital.

The Ministry of Health notes that the Czech Republic is a participant in the Ukraine Facility program and is potentially ready to take on the financing of the reconstruction and modernization of 13 hospitals in seven regions of Ukraine.

So far, the Russians have damaged 1,984 medical facilities and completely destroyed 301. The World Bank estimates that Ukraine's medical reconstruction needs over the next 10 years are $19.4 billion. Since the start of the full-scale war, the Czech Foreign Ministry has allocated EUR 4.3 million for medical equipment and technology for Ukrainian hospitals, as well as ambulances, buses, and communication equipment for medical units.
