Russia destroyed the building of the Department of Toxicology and the old surgical building of the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital
The "Okhmatdyt" children's hospital's old surgical building will most likely be demolished.
According to Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko, one new building will be built instead of the buildings destroyed by Russia.
Okhmatdyt's team and I started working on the medical task and designing a new building.

Minister of Health
Viktor Lyashko stated that more than 800 million from all partners and state funds have already been allocated for the restoration of Okhmatdyt. These funds will be used to eliminate the consequences of the Russian attack in the new building and the medical equipment that needs to be restored.
Next, the state will finance the design and construction of the new building as much as necessary.
According to experts' estimates, the minister added that 360-400 million is needed for the equipment, but service engineers are working and inspecting the surviving equipment from the outside. Perhaps the amount will be even higher. Manufacturers and patrons are ready to provide some equipment free of charge.
