Canada ready to accept children from Okhmatdyt for treatment

According to an Ukrinform correspondent, this issue was discussed during a conversation between Ukraine's Consul General in Toronto Oleh Nikolenko and Head of the Division of Haematology and Oncology at SickKids James Whitlock.

"We discussed in detail the treatment of Ukrainian children at SickKids Hospital and other medical institutions in the province of Ontario, internships of Ukrainian oncologists and efforts to restore the destroyed wing of Okhmatdyt," Nikolenko wrote on his Facebook page.

According to the consul general, he spoke "about Russia's missile attack on the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kyiv on July 8, as well as casualties and destruction caused by this Russian terrorist attack."

"I thank Dr. Whitlock and his team for their willingness to help Ukraine in this difficult time," the diplomat said.

Nikolenko added in a comment to Ukrinform that SickKids's management had expressed their willingness to accept children from Okhmatdyt for treatment and would discuss the details with the Ukrainian Health Ministry.

SickKids is the largest children's hospital in Canada. It is located in Toronto.
