Ukraine and France are launching healthcare projects worth €51 million as part of a €200 million grant agreement 🇫🇷🇺🇦 Agreements were signed today to begin work on the projects announced this March in Paris. These projects, totaling €51 million, will significantly strengthen the sector, and I believe they will help save thousands of lives in Ukraine. 🔹 The first project is the construction of a rehabilitation center in Vinnytsia and the reconstruction of the rehabilitation department at the city hospital in Ladyzhyn, Vinnytsia region. This is a €15 million project that I am convinced will help thousands of Ukrainians receive quality rehabilitation services. 🔹 The second largest project is the provision of portable X-ray machines. We plan to purchase such machines for medical facilities in the Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipro, Mykolaiv, and Odesa regions. These machines will strengthen 75 healthcare facilities. We will allocate almost €11 million for this. 🔹 The third project will equip 58 hospitals with advanced rehabilitation technologies and a training program. 🔹 The fourth project is the establishment of a network of autonomous micro-clinics based in rehabilitation facilities and the training of local teams. These will be micro-clinics fully equipped with the necessary medical and technical equipment. This project will be implemented primarily in Lviv, Poltava, and Kyiv. 🔹 The fifth project is the provision of ultrasound diagnostic systems to hospitals across the country. In total, we will purchase 150 systems. They can be used for emergency medicine, family medicine, and the evacuation of civilian casualties. 🔹 The sixth project will purchase 700 mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation devices– primarily different types of defibrillators. 🔹 And finally, the seventh is the development of telemedicine networks. We will deploy 80 stationary and 62 mobile teleconsultation solutions in the Chernihiv and Odesa regions, as well as in regions affected by the full-scale invasion: Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Kharkiv regions. I am grateful to the French private sector for its active role in the implementation of this agreement. This will mark an example of fruitful cooperation for other countries as well. And we are already implementing similar cooperation with other nations – for example, with Switzerland. But undoubtedly, France has become the country that set the precedent. I would especially like to express gratitude to our long-standing and good friend – the Special Envoy of the President of France for Ukraine's Relief and Reconstruction Pierre HEILBRONN, as well as the Ambassador of France to Ukraine – Gaël Veyssière, for making this event and this Agreement a reality.
