A newly-modernised paediatric infectious diseases department was opened yesterday at the Zhytomyr Regional Tuberculosis Dispensary in the village of Guiva, Zhytomyr Oblast in Ukraine.
Dedicated to providing care for children, the department, which includes a fully equipped intensive care unit, can now accommodate more young patients.
The renovation also included extensive energy efficiency upgrades, structural insulation and a complete modernisation of the building’s engineering networks, equipment and plumbing systems. It now offers safer, more accessible and modern conditions for young patients, including internally displaced persons and individuals with disabilities, ensuring quality care for those who need it most.
The upgrade, with a cost of around €736,000, was carried out under the Ukraine Recovery Programme, a joint initiative of the European Union and its bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB), aiming to help Ukrainian municipalities to rebuild social infrastructure. This programme is being implemented in partnership with Ukraine’s Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories, Ministry of Finance and the local authorities – in this case, the Zhytomyr Regional State Administration – with technical assistance from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine.
A total of 13 recovery projects in Zhytomyr Oblast are being supported through two EIB recovery programmes: the Ukraine Early Recovery Programme and the Ukraine Recovery Programme. These include the renovation of four schools, five hospitals and one public building, and one wastewater project and two water projects.
The third phase, the Ukraine Recovery Programme III, will offer more cities the chance to apply for small-scale reconstruction projects in sectors such as education, healthcare, heating, public housing, and water and wastewater systems. A call for proposals is expected to be announced soon on the website of the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development.
