Revitalization of a Historic Hospital in Odessa

In Odessa, the renovation of the city clinical hospital No. 1, commonly known as the Jewish hospital, is actively taking place, boasting over 200 years of history.

«This is more than just renovation; it is a new beginning for a hospital that has served the people of Odessa for centuries. We are preserving culture and memory while creating an environment conducive to healing,» emphasized the Mayor of Odessa, Gennady Trukhanov.

Currently, simultaneous reconstruction of the surgical pavilion and the former utility building, which will become a center for rehabilitation services, is underway.

The renovation works are being carried out without halting medical services, as the hospital continues to accept patients.

Previously, the emergency and gynecological departments were updated, and roofs of the therapeutic and neurological buildings were repaired.

This has not only improved the conditions for patient stays but also ensured the continuity of medical services.

The facility is equipped with alternative energy and water supply sources, which is critically important in wartime conditions.

Additionally, the connection of a new modular boiler house is ongoing, which will provide stable heating for all hospital buildings.

The Mayor noted that the restoration of the surgical pavilion and the installation of the modular boiler are funded by the European Investment Bank as part of the state recovery program of Ukraine.

The project is being implemented on co-financing terms: 80% from the bank and 20% from the city budget.
