Total funding for defence healthcare infrastructure reconstruction reaches UAH 428.3 million
In 2026, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine allocated UAH 67.5 million to build barrier-free spaces in military healthcare facilities. The funding aims to increase room accessibility for disabled and impaired mobility patients. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing information from the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
Targeted infrastructure upgrades are scheduled across military medical facilities in various regions of Ukraine. Plans include installing new elevators and lifts, replacing obsolete equipment, constructing accessible entrances, and tailoring internal rooms to the needs of injured personnel and low-mobility individuals.
The construction work is intended to streamline movement between floors, grant unhindered access to medical wards, and adapt sanitary zones across hospitals.
