In Shyroke village in Mykolaiv region, outpatient clinic damaged by Russians restored

Another outpatient clinic damaged by the Russian occupiers has been restored in the Mykolaiv region.

This was reported by the Ministry of Health, according to Ukrinform.

"In the Mykolaiv region, an outpatient clinic of general family medicine has been restored in the village of Shyroke. Since the beginning of the war, it has been serving residents of three territorial communities, two of which - Snihuriv and Horokhiv - were under temporary occupation until November last year, and the medical institution was in the area of active hostilities," the statement said.

The Ministry of Health notes that the outpatient clinic sustained significant damage: the roof, windows, doors, interior partitions, and ceiling were smashed. After the liberation of the territories from the occupiers, thanks to partners and charitable organizations, in May 2023, the institution managed to completely replace the windows and carry out routine repairs.

Now the outpatient clinic is functioning and providing medical care to residents of the region, but still needs additional furniture and equipment.
