Cooperation in action Providing medical care amidst the rubble

    Ukraine's hospitals have a much heavier workload than before the war. The director of a hospital in Lviv describes their everyday experience: “As a result of internal displacement in Ukraine, our hospital now serves 50 per cent more people. In addition, we have treated over 2,000 soldiers since February 2022.”

    In order to provide medical care for the people, the BMZ has established five modular hospital extensions with laboratory equipment and one modular diagnostic centre in regions that are particularly affected by the war.

    Solar installations with batteries provide power for the modular units. The hospitals' main buildings have received modern diesel generators with spare fuel to provide emergency electricity. Protective installations around the entire hospital compounds protect the buildings against shelling.
