Reconstructing Healthcare in Ukraine
Our Goal
Reconstruct and reestablish healthcare services in war-affected municipalities located near Kyiv. This project aims to support the entire population of these municipalities, including adults, children, the elderly, and other vulnerable groups.
Project Profile
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine is severely impacting the population and critical infrastructure, particularly in healthcare, water, and energy supply. In response, a coalition of civil society organizations is working to restore healthcare services in communities around Kyiv, which have become the outposts on the approaches of Russia’s efforts to occupy the capital of Ukraine. This has resulted in the destruction of lodging houses, apartment buildings, and essential infrastructure, including medical facilities. As a consequence, the residents of these municipalities have been left without access to essential health services, exacerbating the already precarious situation. The project focuses on rebuilding healthcare facilities in the following locations:
- 2022: Hurivshchyna
- 2023: Shpyt’ky, Moshchun, Nove Zalissya, Drushnya, Shybene, Kachaly, Mircha
- 2024: Maydanivka, Novy Korogod
The communities, chosen based on a detailed needs assessment, now have equipped healthcare centers both medically and administratively.
In collaboration with our trusted partner organizations from Ukraine, DESPRO NGO and All Ukrainian Association of Amalgamated Communities, Skat Foundation has been working tirelessly to rebuild the health centers in various communities.
With this project, we support the entire population of the municipalities: adults, children, the elderly and other vulnerable groups. In total, we will be able to rebuild health services for more than 25,000 people and strengthen the resilience of the municipal governments.
