The European Union will provide nearly €50 million for the reconstruction and modernization of Ukrainian medical facilities damaged by Russian attacks or operating under increased pressure due to the war, according to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
The assistance will primarily target hospitals serving internally displaced persons and residents of regions where the healthcare system has suffered the greatest losses. Specific facilities will be selected after the final approval of funding.
EU funds will be used to prepare and implement construction projects, as well as to purchase modern medical and laboratory equipment. This support will help improve the quality of healthcare services and ensure safer conditions for both patients and medical staff.
At a meeting of the Steering Committee of the Ukrainian Investment Plan, participants also discussed Czech assistance under the Renovation and Modernization of Hospitals program, implemented by the Ministry of Health with support from the World Bank. The initiative aims to upgrade hospital infrastructure, modernize equipment, and improve treatment conditions.
According to the Ministry of Health, as of October 1, 2025, a total of 2,489 buildings within 804 healthcare facilities across Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed. Of these, 2,162 sustained partial damage, while 327 were completely demolished.
