The Kherson City Clinical Hospital, named after O.S. Luchansky, is one of the largest in the region and is still the main hospital for providing emergency care for residents of the Kherson community.
The hospital has 4 inpatient departments with a total capacity of over 300 patients, including surgical care. 80% of the hospital's bed capacity is used for emergency care.
The hospital is under constant shelling by the russians. Still, it continues to provide 24/7 care to Kherson region residents, including internally displaced persons. Over 96,000 people can get medical aid in this hospital.
In April 2024, the Kherson City Hospital received funding to reconstruct a shelter for 102 people. As part of the project, an underground hospital was built to provide people with 24/7 highly qualified medical and surgical care.
Modern standards and requirements for barrier-free access and energy efficiency measures were implemented in the project. The underground hospital's surgery rooms are equipped with modern medical equipment for various surgical interventions and post-surgery care. These include patient monitors, ventilators, infusion machines, and equipment for washing and sterilizing surgical instruments. All beds are equipped with electronic patient positioning systems. The ventilation and air conditioning systems, fire safety, structural and cabling network, and staff call system were also upgraded. The premises are lit with energy-saving LED lamps.
The hospital has developed routes to move patients with limited mobility to shelters as quickly as possible and provide them with emergency care. All routes are easy to navigate, and corridors and rooms are equipped with handrails, allowing patients to get to the shelter independently. The shelter has a convenient food block and barrier-free sanitary areas.
The underground hospital is a dual-purpose building that will be actively used in peacetime.
The project's total budget was UAH 59.1 million. It was financed by a state budget subvention and co-financed by the local budget.
The project has been added to the DREAM ecosystem, and all data on its implementation is available in the project card on the public portal and bi.dream.gov.ua - https://bit.ly/4jqSfzY
