The Okhmatdyt hospital in Kyiv, which was hit by a missile from the Russian military on July 8, will be restored in the spring of 2025. This statement was made by Health Minister Viktor Lyashko, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
“We want to start construction work in the spring,” said the head of the relevant ministry.
The health minister added that an engineering company is currently evaluating the materials that can be used to rebuild the hospital.
The transformer substation, which was also destroyed in the attack, will also be restored. USAID will provide six transformers for Okhmatdyt, which are scheduled to be delivered in January 2025. Currently, three temporary transformers provided by DTEK provide power to the hospital.
“First, the design will be done, and the project will need to be approved by the Ministry of Infrastructure, because Ohmatdyt [the main building – ed.] was built according to an experimental project in 2012. After that, a tender for a construction company will be held,” the minister explained.
He added that conservation projects will be developed for the toxicology and administrative buildings, as these buildings are cultural heritage sites. The conservation is designed for five years, and a technical report will also be presented for the buildings, on the basis of which decisions will be made on the restoration of these facilities.
A tender for the project may be announced in November or December 2024.
