Mykolaiv Clinical Hospital is the largest in the region, with 510 inpatient beds. Its capacity can be increased with additional beds installed in corridors and halls.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the number of emergency patients has increased significantly. The hospital operates around the clock, bringing patients from Mykolaiv and Kherson regions. In 2023, over 6,000 patients underwent planned and emergency surgeries here. 
- Military operations should not affect the provision of medical care, says Dmytro Bachynskyi, medical director of surgical care at Mykolaiv Clinical Hospital. - During the alarms, surgical interventions continue in the operating rooms. It is impossible to stop and transport the patient somewhere else. But we have the simplest shelter in the hospital that is functioning. We have equipped both wards and operating rooms there and made repairs. And since 2022, there have been cases when medical care has been provided in this very shelter.
A modern radiation shelter will be built next to the medical facility to improve the hospital's resources and ability to work in wartime conditions. Work on the project has already begun.
In addition, the hospital will be equipped with a laboratory to support the transplantation of organs and other anatomical materials. For this purpose, a part of the hospital's food block will be reconstructed. The laboratory will be designed to make analyses, store tissue samples, and store other biological materials necessary for transplantation operations and research. There are two interregional laboratories of the first level in Ukraine. One is located in Kyiv and the other is in Lviv. The laboratory in Mykolaiv will be focused on the southern region of Ukraine.
- Transplantation is the treatment that gives seriously ill patients a chance to live. We have agreements with other medical institutions. If we have a potential donor, we can perform a transplant on our base, -says Dmytro Bachynsky.
As of October 2024, the project concluded contracts with contractors, prepared the premises to install new electrical, ventilation, air conditioning, water supply, sewerage systems, and started repair work. Separate work areas will be created, and specialized equipment will be installed to analyze, store, and process biological materials. All work is carried out by the standards of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, which ensures the laboratory's high quality and efficiency.
The total budget of the project is UAH 24.1 million. Its completion is scheduled for March 2025. Project in DREAM - https://bit.ly/3YyhVCv
According to the DREAM analytics module https://bi.dream.gov.ua/, 455 projects from the Mykolaiv region with a total budget of UAH 5.54 billion have been added to the ecosystem.
The DREAM Project Office created the material within the GIZ Ukraine Sustainable Society Cluster framework, funded by the German Government and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
