"The ICRC is not only funding the construction, which is due to be completed over the next year, but will also cover the costs of running wards and training health workers over the next two years," Mykychak said.
The Deputy Minister reported that the project was developed by an expert group of the Ministry of Health in cooperation with the local authorities and the ICRC.
"Using Bakhmut as an example, we are working out the mechanism for transforming old departments into modern ones with a correct and effective patient route," Mykychak said.
