Stable supply of medical institutions with purified water significantly improves the quality of medical care in front -line areas, especially in Kharkov and the Kharkov region. WHO and EU project for the Kharkov region: Pure water for hospitals Humanitarian assistance ~ 60 > water purification stations established with the financial support of the European Union are currently ensured by medical institutions whose services are used by more than a million inhabitants of the Kharkov region of Ukraine. in 2025, five water purification stations were installed in the hospitals of Kharkov and the Kharkov region. This project, implemented by the World Health Organization (WHO) in partnership with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and with the financial support of the European Union, ensures the autonomous work of hospitals in areas injured from the war, providing access to safe and clean water for patients and personnel. ~ 60 >~ 60 > 62 ~This is especially important for Kharkov and nearby areas of the Kharkov region, where infrastructure facilities are underflected daily, which often leads to violations in the operation of electrical and water supply systems. ~ 60 >~ 60 > “Support from the WHO and its partners inspires us to continue the work, we are very valid for this support, we are very valid, we are very valid. – says Dmitry Otchenko, a public procurement specialist working on infrastructure projects of the Chuguev Central District Hospital named after M. I. Kononenko. – There are still often interruptions in electricity and water supply, especially during strong shelling. In case of power outage, we can use electric generators. However, without water, the hospital cannot work at full power. ”Stable supply of medical institutions with purified water significantly improves the quality of medical care in the frontline areas, especially in Kharkov and the Kharkov region, where soil water is often polluted due to military operations. Hospitals cannot rely on non-refilled soil water in a situation where the central water supply system fails due to blows to infrastructure facilities, therefore, additional water purification systems are vital. ~ 60 > 62 > 62 ~“Azh thanks the European Union for supporting the initiative to install water purification stations that allow the population to count on the receipt of services on the basis of local medical institutions,” said Dr. Yarno Khabicht, the head of the Ukrainian office of WHO. – So, in a hospital in Chuguev, one of the five clinics equipped with a water purification station is a maternity ward where mothers and newborns have the opportunity to use clean water, which is so important for their health, despite a constant threat of military operations and interruptions in medical care.

If necessary, additional processes are used, such as iron removal, softening of water, or reverse osmosis, which allow you to achieve the highest level of water purity, which is especially important for operating, maternity and resuscitation departments. ~ 60 >~ 60 > air care is that the each system is equipped with the most energy -efficient solution adapted. The needs of each hospital, realizing that each institution is faced with unique problems. vitality of healthcare systems this initiative is part The situation and subsequent restoration, the purpose of which is to ensure the uninterrupted work of medical institutions. Within the framework of these efforts, the WHO and its partners equipped hospitals with the necessary infrastructure equipment, including water purification systems, heating installations and electric generators, providing constant access to the vital medical services for the local population.
