Operations resumed in Kharkiv hospital buildings damaged by drone strike

This was reported on the Facebook page of the Military Medical Clinical Center of the Northern Region, Ukrinform reports.

“As a result of a nighttime Shahed strike targeting the hospital, patients and staff sustained injuries, and several buildings were damaged. But now surgeries have resumed in the operating rooms that had been destroyed by the blast wave. The hospital cannot stop treating patients for even a minute,” the post says.

This is not the first time the medical facility has been shelled.

“Once again, Russia has committed a crime – they employed a lethal weapon against a medical facility. We say ‘once again’, because this isn’t the first time the hospital is being shelled. This is an act of terrorism,” said the head of the facility, Eduard Khoroshun.

The hospital decided not to call for a fundraiser to repair its damaged part, but its team is calling for donations within the previously launched fundraiser – for a CT machine, which costs UAH 30 million.

“We are not launching a fundraiser for the restoration of the facility, we hope to do this on our own. Convert all your rage, anger, indignation, all your empathy and sympathy for our medics and wounded soldiers into donations,” the statement reads.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on the evening of March 29, Kharkiv was subjected to a massive Russian drone strike. Twenty-seven residential buildings, a market, a registry office, the House of Projects, a college, a dormitory housing internally displaced persons, and a hospital were affected. Two people were killed and 35 injured, including five children. A teenage girl remains in serious condition.
