Visiting "Rakhiv District Hospital of the Rakhiv City Council of the Transcarpathian Region" revealed both the challenges and the promising progress in healthcare for this community. Local support to complete the renovations of the OUTPATIENT space made it possible for us to bring in equipment to help create this service. This post shares insights from our visit, the current situation, and the steps ahead.

This hospital is one of six key clinics in the area, (Transkarpattia), and as Direct Aid for Ukraine, we have pledged to support its rehabilitation services by providing essential equipment. The new wing of the hospital is scheduled to open early next year. It is fully prepared, with all the necessary equipment already delivered and ready for use.

The building we assessed stood neglected, other parts of the hospital's old unsafe buildings in the process of being demolished, creating space for completely new projects. It holds the potential to become a vital rehabilitation wing for children facing physical challenges and could also incorporate a new wing for child mental help and therapy.
