Following last week’s results, the head of the Kherson Regional State Administration, Oleksandr Prokudin, spoke at a briefing about the visit and the results of familiarizing himself with the region’s health care systems.

According to the region’s leader, the guests familiarized themselves with the work of medical facilities operating in a frontline environment. They visited “underground hospitals,” examined autonomous power supply systems, modern diagnostic equipment, and learned about methods for providing emergency care and rehabilitation.
Prokudin stressed that such an exchange of experience could contribute to greater readiness of international partners for crisis scenarios and faster coordination of actions in the event of a threat.
According to the Kherson OVA, residents have access to medical care in 37 health care facilities with 158 structural subdivisions. They are equipped with modern equipment, supplied with medicines, and have autonomous power sources. The region employs about 650 doctors and more than 1,500 mid-level medical workers.
On the de-occupied territory of the region, 14 “underground hospitals” have been built, where surgeries are performed, patients are treated, rehabilitation is conducted, deliveries take place, blood is collected, and a rehabilitation center operates.
