Damage to medical facilities in Kyiv after shelling
In Kyiv, as a result of missile strike Russian troops damaged five medical institutions. These included two specialised medical facilities and three primary healthcare centres located in Podil, Sviatoshyno and Holosiivskyi districts.
The biggest destruction in Holosiivskyi district
The most serious consequences of the shelling are observed in the medical institution of Holosiivskyi district. The second and third floors of the building were destroyed, which led to significant damage to the infrastructure and limited the facility's ability to provide care.
Impact on the medical infrastructure of the capital
The damage to the five medical facilities is having an impact on the healthcare system in Kyiv, especially in the areas where the damaged primary care centres are located. This creates additional challenges for healthcare workers in providing access to essential services to city residents.
