The Ministry of Health and the World Bank are working on the possible supply of additional 1100 generators to medical institutions in Ukraine, in addition to the already delivered 570 since the beginning of the war. This was announced by Minister of Health Viktor Liashko on the air of a telethon .

The Minister pointed out that the second stage of medical reform, which began on April 1, 2020, provided for the provision of medical institutions with generators “without fail before concluding an agreement with the NHSU.” And it happened.
However, the war revealed the problem of insufficient power of generators, since some of them could only provide for the operation of individual departments, and not the entire hospital.

“During the war, only the Ministry of Health has already delivered 400 powerful diesel generators to healthcare facilities, plus WHO has provided another 170, and now we are working out an additional supply of 1100 generators with the World Bank,” Lyashko said.
According to him, some generators will be for hospitals that do not have inpatient medical care, including primary care facilities, the other part will increase capacity so that medical institutions can fully function without centralized power supply for a long time.
Supplement
Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reported that Ukraine had received 700 generators from donors. Another 900 will be delivered from them soon.
