Russians damage 1,100 medical facilities across Ukraine - ministry

Since the full-scale invasion, Russian troops have shelled 1,100 Ukrainian medical facilities, and now more than UAH 38 billion is required for their restoration.

That’s according to the Ministry of Health, Ukrinform reports.

The ministry says the invaders over the eight months of the war damaged 1,100 medical facilities, of which 144 were completely destroyed.

"Ninety-five medical facilities have already been fully restored. Another 204 objects have been restored partially," the ministry said.
