Outpatient clinic in Kyiv oblast restored after wartime damage
In the village of Mykulychi, Kyiv oblast, a comprehensive renovation of the local outpatient clinic has been completed after the facility sustained damage from shelling in the early months of the full-scale invasion. The project was implemented by the international organization Project HOPE, in close cooperation with partners, and the local community.
On 5 September, the renovated facility opened its doors to patients, providing reliable healthcare services to more than 2,500 residents of the community, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), who comprise around 10% of the local population.
The opening ceremony was attended by Edem Adamanov, Deputy Minister of Health of Ukraine; Serhii Petrushenko, Director of the Primary Health Care Centre of the Nemishaieve Village Council; Yana Horai, Head of the Outpatient Clinic; and Petro Perevoznyk, Head of the Nemishaieve Village Council.
“After the de-occupation of our community, we actively began rebuilding, as many facilities had been destroyed. However, it would have been impossible to do this on our own. Thanks to our joint efforts, the outpatient clinic is restored and ready to provide high-quality healthcare services to our residents.”
Representatives of Project HOPE, led by Giorgio Trombatore, Country Director in Ukraine, were also present at the event.
“Projects like this enhance access to high-quality healthcare services in communities, so residents do not have to travel to a city in order to get consultations. Importantly, this support is not limited to large hospitals or rehabilitation centers but also extends to primary care facilities, which are closest to the people.”
The comprehensive capital renovation of the outpatient clinic included the roof replacement, the insulation of the facade, ceiling, and floor, the installation of new utility networks, and interior finishing. Special attention was given to the windows, which were replaced with modern double-glazed, energy-efficient units, enhancing heat retention and reducing heating costs during the cold season.
Additionally, a solar power station was installed on the roof of the facility to provide the outpatient clinic with an alternative source of electricity in case of power outages or disruptions.
In addition to the renovation works, the outpatient clinic received new furniture and medical equipment. There is also an inclusive restroom, designed according to barrier-free accessibility standards.
“This project is unique not only because it incorporates modern energy-efficient solutions but also because of the mural on the building’s facade, created in the style of Petrykivka decorative painting. Our projects are not just about construction—they are about life, culture, and hope, which we bring back to people along with the new space”
The outpatient clinic is now fully operational and is actively serving patients, providing the local community with access to high-quality primary healthcare services.
For reference, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Project HOPE has been providing comprehensive humanitarian support in Ukraine, including supplying medical facilities with equipment and medicines, deploying mobile medical teams, conducting training for healthcare workers, and restoring medical and social infrastructure damaged by the war.
In total, 27 healthcare facilities across 8 oblasts have been restored. 18 sites have already undergone renovations, and 4 facilities in the Kyiv and Odesa oblasts are currently under restoration.
As a reminder, the Minister of Health, Viktor Liashko, recently met with representatives of Project HOPE to discuss further directions for cooperation in restoring and strengthening Ukraine’s healthcare system.
